| hobbycity 25amp supply and a tenma 30amp supply
So, I got the 25amp power supply ordered form hobbycity (I figured get an overkill one, cuz the quality prollyu sucks, and I don't want to get near its limits), and it was DOA.... Well, it works, but the voltage flcutuates like crazy between 8v and 16v (its a 14v supply), and is therefore useless for pwoering a charger. Instead of returning it for a replacement, i decided to return it for store credit. (i will ship out in a few days) Intead, i picked this up off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT It's a biut old and used, but I am confident it woudl last as long (or longer) as a new hobbycity PSU while being better, and (ironically) cheaper. I got it for $41, or $57 shipped. The hobbycity 25amp supply is $57 PLUS SHIPPING (from china is liek 20 dollars) ERGO, I think I got a great deal. 30 amp Tenma VARIABLE (1-15v) power supply |

I've heard that those HobbyCity PSU's are completely hit or miss. They're DOA, or they work perfectly. It seems about 50-50.
