Its description says "2-24v to 3-30v 4A 80w CC CV".

On a lab bench supply it was able to produce 12 V / 3 A from 6.8 V input.

When used in UPS and powered from Li-Ion 3000 mAh battries the results are:

Output current Output voltage Battery current Battery voltage
0.01 A 12 V - -
0.5 A 11.68 V -0.86 A 7.78 V
1.0 A 11.45 V -1.83 A 7.5 V
1.5 A 11.33 V -2.95 A 7.15 V
2.0 A 11.15 V -4.22 A 6.78 V
2.5 A 11.04 V -5.76 A 6.42 V
2.9 A 10.99 V -7.86 A 5.8 V
3 A - it turns off (even when I add a capacitor to the output)
