[Dprglist] Any recommendation / favorite 3A buck converter for an RPi4?

[Doug Paradis]

Paul,
    Here is another one to consider.
https://www.amazon.com/Protooma-Voltage-Converter-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B0B1PF1KSG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1
It says max voltage for 24v system (golf cart), but I am not sure what the
alternator output voltage would be (~28V?). See review by paradug.
Regards,
Doug P.
