AC Input to DC Chargers

[Bob Kane]

The 12 volt section of most PC power supplies don't come close to supplying 25 amps, so I would not feel bad about your purchase. I own a 15 amp supply and run multiple chargers at high charge rates simultaniously, something a pc power supply can not do.

the question a couple weeks ago. I picked up a 12VDC
25amp supply at radio shack, oh well, couldve done
that PC power supply conversion and saved $60.
