Product FAQ:
Q1: Can I power a 12V LED strip from a single Li-ion cell?
Yes! Using this AP3012 boost converter, you can step up 3.7V to 12V, sufficient for low-current 12V LED strips.
Q2: Is the output voltage fixed or adjustable?
Fixed. You can get the output 24v.
Q3: What happens if the output exceeds 24V?
The AP3012 has a built-in OVP. The chip will shut down when output exceeds the 24V threshold.
