question about a peak charger. (regards to power supply)
the pinnacle peak charger will do 1-14 cells. but it doesnt have an a/c cord to plug into the wall. it requires 12 volts at 5Amps. can i use a computer power supply to
power this badboy? doing some random reasearch, it seems like 250watt power supplies have approx a 10A rating and 400watt ps has a approx 28A rating. so either ps i have would work in theory.
has anybody used a computer ps for this purpose before? cause i really dont think it's practical using a car battery to peak charge a multi cell mini rc. and 5amp power supplies are $$$ from rat shak/hobby shops.
i'm even willing to open up the power supply and use thicker guage wiring.
i just need to know if they can hold up to the current draw.
also i'll only be charging 1-8 cells..so it's not like i'll charge at a full 5A ever.
thanks
