DC-DC Step-Up Voltage Regulator module based LM2577T-ADJ
(Attention: load current forever not exceed 3A or load short circuit,this be likely to burn out module,Output Voltage more high, support current will more low,If it use to high load current,input current need high current)
Computer translation strikes again...
Reminds me of the "toy fungus" I saw once (some kind of kids' toy shaped like a mushroom).
My last tech writer job involved taking some Jenglish (Japanese English) and "fixing" it.
I just call it Engrish (japanese english interpretations) because I experience them every day at work. Actually, ours are much better. Online translaters provide a good laugh every time.
And then I actually found the above linked engrish site. High-larryous!
It's even funnier when you experience it all the time.

I always wondered if someone could get a job in japan "fixing" their translations.

It would be a seriously lucrative and easy job for folks like us.

Try Chingrish on CCTV products. Much worse than Japanese products. Even the e-mail ads are hilarious.
On a clear bag of small parts that came with a tool I bought once.
"Warning:contains small parts"
We have a child stroller that admonishes you to remove the child before folding. English grammer on it is good tho.
I have an air hose which has printed about every foot '300 PSI max danger of burning'. Must be some stinking hot compressed air.
The unnatural foreign language on the stroller and the small parts isn't Chinese, it's Lawyer.

Not translation problems, but I always loved these from the owner's manuals of two motorcycles I bought in the 70's.
For a CZ: "Congratulations! You have purchased a machine manufactured in the largest motorcycle factory in Southern Bohemia."
For a Bultaco: "Warning! If you are a person of unusual physical strength, do not engage in a battle of wills with the nuts and bolts on this motorcycle."
