Re: Computer power supplies Hi John; Got my 12v power supply and tweeked it to 13.25 volts and works like a hot dam. Plugged 2 TP 1010c chargers in and did a test charge drawing about 10 amps and units fan didn't even cut in so I guess drawing less than rated 29 amps won'te hurt the unit a bit . Will test later at chargers max 10 am rate each and see what happens. Better to have overcapacity on the PS and not push it to the max as it should last longer if running cooler |

Re: Computer power supplies Have just finished hooking up my 12v power supply and bumped output voltage up to 13.25 volts using the internal pot. Hooked up two TP 1010c chargers and pulled about 10-12 amps total and unit barely got warm. (rated at 29 amps) The internal fan did not even come on so at reduced output this power supply (I am hoping) will last for ever . |

The three lines to the right are your 110 vac hookup. Ground being self explanitory and then you have L-ive line in and N-eutral line in from the 3 wire AC cable . If you don't know how to wire the 110 volt AC I would suggest that you get an qualified electrician friend to do that for you. I would prefer to not be involved in that portion in case you wire backwards and get Zapped as the metal case must be grounded. The units to my knowledge shipped from China do not have CSA approval stamps on them so they should not be left plugged in unattended ; the same as Lipos. Makes sense ? I don't know the reliability of these units but I thought that it was worth a shot at, for the price |

Could you post a picture of how you have everything hooked up to one of these units? I saw them on ebay, but am a little confused as to how it is used. Thanks in advance! Steve |

Re: Computer power supplies Stegl, Where did you buy the unit, sounds like a scookum deal and I may want to pick one up when I give up on the computer power supply? They used to be way more expensive but with new technologies they've really come down in price from what they were in the transformer days. In my case I have an addiction to tinkering, part of the uphill battle that this hobby is at times. On occasion I look back and say what the heck did I do that for? Oh well, inherited it from my Dad I guess. John |

Re: Computer power supplies Just bought my switching power supply rated 12v at 30 amps .Voltage adjustable up to 13.2 volts ; fan cooled when amps go up and starts to warm up on higher draw.. Straight hookup no messing arround with wireing this wire to that puting bulbs in for loads to get it to work and that mucking arround. Cost $38 shipped. |
