Recently I combined two 18650 batteries in Parallel, and attached the output of the Paralleled 18650 batteries to a 5V Step UP Converter to convert my voltage up to a constant 5V and draw the 4A my load requires at 5V.
Here is a picture of the Step-Up Module I used, and link: EBAY

- The Paralleled batteries input 3.45 Volts, with up to 15A constant power drain available.
- My load takes a required 5V 4A.
When I set the output on the adjustable converter to 5V and connect my load to the custom battery pack, whose input is connected to this 5V step up andI made from 2 18650 Samsung 30Q batteries,the output Voltage drops to the same voltage as the batteries. This problem did not occurwhen I used a 5V 1A load.
I am not sure why this is happening: immediately when I connect the battery powered device to the output with AWG Gauge wires, the Voltage I set is seemingly overriden.
Thanks!
