Re: Power Management Recommendation for driver stations

We will have take our dead classmate charger apart to see what is
in there. Even if it is a switched supply that can run on dc, hacking
together a high voltage dc power supply is a really bad idea that our
UL safety inspectors should frown on. Spend $20 at radio shack for
a suitable 12 volt charger!
