Well i ended up at jaycar, dickies wanted 60 bucks for a small 2.5/3 A @12v DC and i thought that was a bit on the expensive side. So after viewing what jaycar had in stock, (the original 12v 5amp was there) for 29.95, but there was a regulated 12vdc @ 8amp switch mode psu for 10 rods more. 39.95.

Saturday night I got it all sorted out and running, using the hand controller to see what output was being fed to the mount it was a constant 13.7V mind you to set up where i was i was a good 10m away from the power outlet. when i tested it inside it held steady at 13.8V.

With 8amps it has bult room to load it up. All i will be doing is getting a little grey box from MM electricals or jaycar see who has what, lining it with a few ciggi lighters, a fuse box and what not so i can just plug in what i want when i want. HAZZAR.!

The next thing that ill end up getting is a decent battery to run it in the sticks.!
