ProTek R/C "Super Pro 40" Five Output World Edition Power Supply w/USB Port (13.8V/40A/520W)

ProTek R/C "Super Pro 40" Five Output World Edition Power Supply w/USB Port (13.8V/40A/520W)
joseph papa - Rating: 3 of 5 Stars! Verified Owner Monday, August 01, 2011
I was never very sure this power supply was capable of the full output as with two chargers running, I could never set the chargers high enough to pull the full 40. The main output is the only one good for more than 16amps, so I would put one charger on the main terminals at 20 amps and the other, on one of the other outputs. Anything over 6-8 amps from the second (total amp draw of less than 30) would make the power supply sag enough to make the chargers (Hyperion 720iNet3) shut down. After about 7 months of light use, I could't figure out what was burning. Took the cover off the power supply and a component inside was 500 degrees according to my nitro infrared thermo gun. I am no longer confident in using it and don't have the confidence in the quality to bother with a replacement. I knew the price was kinda too good to be true. For someone who is not going to push the unit to its limits, I am sure you will be fine, and its possible the unit I received was a weaker unit, but I would recommend getting one that is rated at least 30% above the max amperage you may need.
