Actually very easy to make. Just use a 7808 2 amp regulator, 2 small caps , a cigaret lighter connector with fuse and a small little box. Total of under 10 bucks, and around 20 minutes to make. Voltage should be around 7.6 - 7.8 V depending on length and thickness of cabling used. Then just plug it in the car or across a battery. For high effeciency, use a sitchmode regulator (about the same size as the normal regulator but switch mode bits in it).


I have been using one for 2 years now for my 20D. No probs.
