Re: Power From The Wall

To do this "cheaply" What you would want is an unregulated 12V power supply. Basically, you'd parallel the output of the power supply with an FRC battery. The battery would handle the peak loads and the PSU would handle the base load & recharge the battery.

Theoretically, you can use a standard 12V automotive battery charger with this, although I'm not sure what current rating it would require. I'd recommend at least a 20A charger, it really will depend on your base load and your drive train.
