Hi guys, just thought I'd share some photo's of my new charger I'm starting to build up - 60KW (yes 60,000 watts of pure charing power ) That's almost 5,000Amps at 12v


Just joking, we just decommissioned 30 DL380G5 servers from work, so I grabbed all the power supplies. Each supply is 1000W (12.15v 82.3A) on 240V AC, and I now have 60 to share.


The beauty with these supplies is that the dual fans are temperature controlled, so they are nice and quiet. Simple mod to get them running - just 2 pieces of short wire and a soldering iron and you're done.


With a 10K multi turn pot, and a 6K8Ohm resistor, you can up the output voltage to 14.4v (over volt shutdown at 14.45v).


You can solder on output wires, or just use aligator clips to connect your charger to the outputs. I'd recommend insulating the clips just in case they shift and touch - it wont damage the supply, but it may damage your clips or charger.

Once the field dries out, I'll bring some down.

Cheers
Dennis
