Default RE: How to convert an ATX power supply to rc use

Don't know nuttin' 'bout no Pamona jacks. This is all kinda new to me, so I consider myself fortunate to have you guys around.

I finished up my conversion and powered up my 10S for a test run. I hooked up a pair of 3S 3700 packs and cranked the charge rate up to 3C. The voltage on the PSU never fell below 12.2 and the peak draw was around 20 amps. The fan in the PSU was on all the time but it's one of those ultra-quiet units so the only way I could tell it was on was by looking at it or putting my hand in front of it. I'm very pleased with how well it works. Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this thread. It's a great resource.
