What power supplies are you guys using for your ICE chargers? I just purchased an ICE and want to upgrade my old dinosaur of a power supply as well. I am looking for a 12v 20 amp supply, and was just curious what the rest of you are using. Also where can I find the best deal on one? Thanks.
 
How much do you want to spend?
20A units aren't cheap. (Good Ones)

I can get Rivergate or Competition Electronics units if your interested.
 
Thats much better priced than some of the other ones I have been looking at! So it has worked well for ya huh, I may have to look in to that one. Thanks guys.
 
From what I hear they work great for most applications. Their weak point is they tend to heat up after around 5 minutes of high output (over 15 amps). 99% of the time if your going to just be charging single packs @ 5-6 amps its not really an issue. If you plan on running 2-3 chargers and a lathe or sharing your PS with others in the pit you may want to look at another.
 
I'm using the LRP and it's been great so far. I think it's a 15 amp. I like it cause it's so small, I set the ICE on top of it and they are a perfect pair.
 
How much is that one Zandor?
 
Although probably more than you need up here in the Great White North Alinco power supplies are very popular. They have a 30 amp model thats really nice. I have two Astron 20 amp power supplies running high output ham radio gear and have had no problems either.
