[450] Inching along.....

[Bob]

Today's project now complete.

12 volts @ more current than I could ever possibly need is now easily accessed via 3/8" binding posts in a Delrin plate mounted to the front of the main shack shelf.

This is powered by a pair of "Orbital"  style batteries 
(  http://www.remybattery.com/Products/Exide-Orbital-ORB78DT-84-Starting-Battery__ORB78DT-84.aspx )
mounted to a shelf in the garage, and fed into the shack via two neatly routed 15' long 1/0 # cables.

This will not only provide "backup power", but will also be the "bench supply" for high current amplifiers as I acquire them or when they "visit" for repairs.

Dedicated metering of voltage and current to follow, as well as a specific charging system.
The Samlex supply handles these duties for now.

On to the next project!
