<div class="moz-cite-prefix">These are a little pricier but I've had good experiences with these on mobile robots. They are made for the R/C market and are quite robust. They even offer a water-proof package!</div>

<div> Here is another one to consider. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Protooma-Voltage-Converter-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B0B1PF1KSG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.amazon.com/Protooma-Voltage-Converter-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B0B1PF1KSG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1</a></div>
<div>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.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I need an adjustable buck converter to produce 3A @ 5.1V from a 28V battery for an RPi4. (The golf-cart 24V->5V converter I put in Mowbot doesn't produce quite enough volts and I keep getting low voltage / performance throttled warnings from
the RPi.) I see Amazon has a bunch of vendors selling LM2596-based converters. Do they work well? Any advice from those with experience is welcome.</div>
