I see. Very well said! I have another question about Wattage use. If a charger has a max output of 300 watts, and I know the max watts I will be charging at is 170, do I need a power supply that accommodates for the 300 or 170 watts?

okay, because some guy in a different forum said i can...

Yes, me and my cousin will have fun with this one. Very interesting.:smile: Is it possible to join the 5v to the 12v rail to increase amp output?

Another question: If I'm only using the 12V output, can I just disregard the 5V rail and cut it off? I'm using this as a reference on how to convert. http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-a-Computer-ATX-Power-Supply-to-a-Lab-Power-Supply

Ah, I see. PLease forgive us less educated people. The language of physics is domineering.

Sorry, I'm not a technician or anything. I'm just doing a "do-it-yourself" project. So please explain things as simple as possible. I'm trying to power a lithium polymer battery charger to charge at its maximum current of 20 amps. And i didnt make myself clear enough. It has two positive 12V...

I want to convert my power supply into a "lab power supply" but a lot less simple. I just want a 12V output on it. The power supply has 2 12V rails. Is it possible to connect both rails to increase amperage? Thanks for you input.
