Time for a power supply
 

Ok so I ask some guys about the pyramid psv 300 power supply and they said it was good, but how does it compare to the much more 24 amp? Which would you buy?

I have the Pyramid PSV-300, it's awesome. I have to sell it because I'm moving to Australia and it won't take 220V. But as far as power supplies go it's the great. Good clean power at a great price. 30AMP might be overkill, but it's nice knowing you can hook up multiple chargers. I run a EOS 610i, EOS 620i DUO, Triton Jr, and a fan off of mine without issues.

what do you mean it wont take 220v? How do you hook up the charger to this? do you plug in the leads or what?

Household current in Australia 220 or 240V I can't remember. Power supply only takes 110V in. The power supply has 13.8V output, that's what you connect your charger too.

Here is my old setup, I bought a 12V power strip to plug in multiple chargers easier.

My new setup, the PSV300 is under the black board.

Trinity Duo is the way to go. It has 2 outputs one is adjustable and the other is fixed 12v 15 amp for both. It is nice if you run 2 chargers because you don't need a distribution box. It also has a USB outlet so you can plug in a ipod USB cord and charge your ipod. It has 30amp total so it is a pretty powerful small power supply.

i cant really see how you hook the charger to the power supply. does that supply come with the power cord? and how is it quality wise? i just want something that will last me a long time and not die

Way over priced for what it is.
Much More is over priced too.
Pyramid stuff seems to be fine. I have the Team Checkpoint PS. Has dual outputs and rated at 23amps.

yeah i am not getting the trinity, way to much money

how do you like the checkpoint?

Works fine. I think it was like $10 at my LHS over the 23 amp Pyramid w/shipping and I can't remember if the Pyramid had dual outputs, which i wanted.

Tower Hobbies has info on the checkpoint.

will a radio shack 25 amp work ok? I might run down and pick one of those up.

The radio shack is cheaper and I ahve called around and some hobby shops say that is all you need.
