Hi there,
I have a nitro RC buggy which I recently dug out of the garage and the batteries need charging before I use it. I have a mains charger for the transmitter, but the charger for the buggy's battery pack is a 12 volt jobby.
When I lived at my parents house (in a very quiet cul-de-sac) I would clamp the buggys charger to my car's battery and leave it on charge out on the driveway. I now live in a city centre and leaving the buggy on charge under the car bonnet is no longer an option. I'd like to continue using the existing 12v charger so am considering using a PC power supply to provide the required voltage as I have one going spare.
Will this work? I take it I'd need to hook up the +12v and -12v wires from the PSU to the chargers input lines? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
