12v Power Supply
 
Guys,

I have a protrak charger that is capable of charging Lipo but is only 12v input. Can anyone recommend a stable 12v supply? and what is the max ampage that needs to come out of it? Someting that i can plug into a 240v supply ie what you have at home or indoor series.

Any help would be great

Cheers

Windy:thumbsup:

There are quite a few options for this, I personally use a much more 24amp supply as it allows for running quite a few bits of kit.

These seem pretty popular in the pits too

If you are in any way capable around electronics, use an old power supply from a computer. Thats what I did and its cheap (cost me nothing as I had an old one) and it supplies not just 12v but lots of other voltages too.

Just a thought... :)

I've also built a couple PSU-based power supplies - and they work great. If you're clever, you can get them packaged up quite tidily as well.

However, next time I'd just go for one of these and be done with it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Power...item35b46281ad

No fuss, no muss. You do have to rewire the output cord to something more useful, but a quick google will set you straight.

Cheers,
Ty

I've used that dell that Ty linked to, PM me if you want photos and a description.
