I am in need of a smaller power supply that will run 2 lrp pulsar's and a small computer fan. I am curently using a astron and it weighs a ton. Im sure that this has been dealt with before on here. I just need some suggestions. Thanks :thumbsup:

Radio Shack makes a good small one ..about 28amps..
www.Duracom.com also makes a small one .. A racin buddy has had one for years with no problems.

That link to duracom doesn't work

I'm using one of those Victor 12 amp power supply's to run my GFX,tekin 112A and a computer fan in my cooling stand for my XXX-S, and it doesn't heat up at all. Damn good power supply for the money think I paid 45 dollars for it from PromatchRacer. Give him a tell if your interested in it.

Heres a pic of mine.

Cosel makes some.. same as the 12amp astroflights. around 30$ on ebay.
Samlex makes a nice 25amp model. around 80$ very small and light.
Radio shack as a similar 25amp for about 90$ (these are all same as what CE sells too..)

hope that helps some.

I have seen the Radio Shcak one. I didnt know if it was worth 100 or not.

From what Ive read the samlex/radio shack/whatever other place relabels that thing>>> those are not good for using on multiple chargers...Im not an electrical engineer so I cant explain why BUT Ive heard that the switching style supply tends to have problems when multiple things are hooked to it>>>even if the sum is far under the rating.. Mine gets a little warm just using it to power my maxtec IQ 3000>>>I only charge at 6 amps... It does not get so hot that I think its going to BLOW...but I would not want to add a bunch of lines to it...

Im not bashing them...I actually own/use one...But I use it as a dedicated supply for my charger...and will continue to do so..

FWIW any GOOD PS now-a-days is going to be small/lightweight...

for instance I have a TODD engineering PC45B>>>which im selling ;) >>its about the same size as my radio shack one and weighs nothing.....its 45 amps>>> But I also have a Pyramid 35 amp model that weighs about 55 pounds and is HUGE.... I also have a rivergate 75 amp model which is relatively small and featherweight as well that I use for my fantom dyno.. The pyramid one I intend to use as a boat anchor some day when I can afford a boat big enough to require that kind of anchor..

sales pitch aside all im saying is just because you buy a high amperage PS does not mean it has to be big/heavy..Its usually the CHEAPO versions that weigh 8 tons>>ie pyramid ...
