Re: Battery PSU

We used this power supply last year. It's designed for car computers, and as such to be able to sustain output voltage even though the input power may be dirty or prone to brown outs. We had no problems with it at all and I highly recommend it. You have to be careful about using just any power supply with the same battery connected to motors, as starting current for the motors can cause voltage drop outs.
