When I try to charge a 6-cell 1300mAh NICD pack at 4.0 or 4.5 A, I get an Input Voltage error.
I've lowered the value to 3.0A and the charging process completed successfully.
I'm using a PC Power Supply to power my Triton.
In the Data View Menu, the input is 11.75V. The power supply is rated +12V, 8A.
I've shorted an orange and a red wire (so that the fan always runs).
I've connected a hard drive and a CD-ROM to the power supply.
PS Yellow cable to Triton's red cable (+)
PS Black cable to Triton's black cable (-).
Thanks

Hey Red.
That was neat how you cleverly hid your answer within the quote.
mxclouti - Perhaps you could put a voltmeter on your power supply and see what it is doing when you try higher charge currents.
