Hi, In this price range I would look at Applent AT8612. It's a pretty decent device. |

--- Quote from: FriedMule on October 28, 2018, 09:57:47 pm ---Okay great, that means, if I set the CC to 500mA and 5V but try to give it 7V and 200mA, it will just force the voltage down to keep the 500mA? I'll look at the BK, but what about the "less brand names" like Maynuo and so on? --- End quote --- Both Maynuo and Itech have a good reputation and the story is that those and BK's models are designed by the same person. The advantage of Itech is that the devices speak SCPI. |

Because in another thread I showed that the products of some "reputable" manufacturer is overpriced and I was burnt at the stake for that. --- End quote --- If you're referring to the soldering iron thread, you got burnt because there wasn't any proof. We have extensive tests and teardowns of various electronic loads that show they're essentially the same thing. Please keep discussions to the relevant thread at hand. |

But ITech is literally a subsidiary of BK. Why would you pay more for BK logo when you can buy it under brand which actually makes those DC loads instead of paying more to parent company. |

Support and parts avaliability can be relevant too, though I have no reason to suspect that's better or worse either way. |
