Hi guys, in an attempt to find a cheap flexible way of getting a true linearly regulated DC supply, i thought of this.
Well ok, its not the cheapest, but its reasonably cheap, and it gives u the BEST dc source that doesnt rely on some kind oflinear regulator which isnt perfect.
Since nothing beats true DC from a battery, why not get a set of 6x3.6v li-ion cells, that are permanently inside your amp.
Then just plug in a smart charger as and when they die, or better still, leave it plugged in permanently.
I can source 6x 3.6v Liions + the smart charger for less than 50 bucks.
The smart charger is also auto switching, so ur amp is worldwide use safe.
So ur paying for portable use, auto switching, as well as the BEST DC source u can get, for under 50 bucks.
btw, the cells are 750mah each and are AA sized. so in effect, a single charge lasts about 3 times as long as 2x 9v batteries.
Anyone thought of doin this?
PS: I could have sworn i clicked "DIY DISCUSSIONS" section when i posted this. could a mod help me move this thread?
