Pro Chaser DC-DC 15A 180W Converter

My project can not be completed without this converter. It works as designed. I hope that it will last for a long time.

Good very good

I've purchased a dozen of these step downs. Very easy to install and simple to use. I haven't had any Pro Chasers fail on me yet. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a step-down. If you don't need 100v+ step down, Pro Chasers has a smaller unit that handles up to 72v (about 1.5-2" shorter in length).

The output wires are very short. I wish the device would have a switch (it drains my battery when not in use).

I was able to use this to wire 12V lights (headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals) to my CYC X1 pro gen 4 e-bike's 72V battery. I've included a diagram for if anybody wants to have brake lights triggered by the brake sensor using a 5V and a 12V octocoupler relay. I personally opted to use NFOX 3 pin brake levers, which worked well with the CYC wiring (had to splice into the red/black/blue wires).

TOTAL GARBAGE!!! I swear to GOD, I wired this converter up very solidly with 14 gauge wire and an inline fuse. I fired up my bike and it fried my taillight and turn signals!!! Upon removal I noticed fluid on my hand. I opened up the casing of this piece of trash and sure enough, there is some kind of fluid leaking out of it. I am so pissed off right now I don't know what to even say!!!!!!

I got caught in over 5 heavy rain storms over the past 2 years and I have had no issues with this little unit. It started on a 42v system and has now been running on a 72v system.

I have this setup within my enduro build, and it works great but has some quirks to include when dropped below 72v, I lost everything powered by it. I'm not sure if this is typical, and I bought it less than a year ago, but be forewarned, the 60v/48v capability sounds suspect.
