Hi all, am looking at buying a 12v power supply but on a real budget, at this time it only needs to power a "trakpower" lipo charger / balancer so anybody know of a good cheap one, or better still anybody selling one cheap?

cheers, John

even cheaper, have just converted an old laptop charger, it's rated high enough, and it's not even getting warm....result! will obviously test it fully before going racing with it

A few years ago there was a lot of redundant desktop power supplies used, 12volts easy, enough power & cheap, we still use ours now & again.

sure if you google you will find some.

thanks JC, but i've already got one....cut the plug off it, put connectors on and off it went!
didn't get hot so it's perfect
just charged 2 lipo's without any problems.
I love it when something gets sorted for no money whatsoever lol
