    A little Side Project - Power Supply Center

    I picked up a 75-amp power supply last summer on E-Bay for about $50.00... Was tough to tote around, so it's been just sitting at home getting occasional use while I charge up the night before a race...

    Well... Now I can take it with me! Found this nice Coleman Stainless toolbox that fits. Mated my Power Station to it and mounted the power supply inside! Tool tray even still fits...

    Nothing like being organized!

        Yah... Forgot to get a pic of that... The supply has a fan on one end... and the box has a hole pattern that I drilled where the fan is... Air can exit out the power chord hole...

        Honestly, I doubt I'd ever use it anywhere near capacity where it'd even get warm... haven't yet anyhow... I don't think that the Power Station panel could handle it... the panel is supplied by 12-awg wires... I've tested all of this together before assembling it and it seemed to do fine... Future upgrades, however, are always a possibility with me!
