Portable power supply for X16.

This is for products with a physical and digital component. Things like an Arduino based emulator of a 1970s mainframe, a toaster that butters your bread, or even a homebrew computer.

1:36 pm.............. Still playing. Made the 4 hour mark on the Battery :). So > 1 hour per Battery Ah.. at least. Means if I plug in a 9ah Ryobi Battery I should get damn near 1/2 day of run time.

Hanging on at just 1 bar on the battery, actually much longer than I had hoped. At the moment still playing

STARTING PORTABLE BUILD

Post by ahenry3068 »

Ok. Back here after more than 3 mos. This is why I built the Power supply.

I have every thing together for my portable build. Now it's just logistics. I have to figure out how to mount everything and get it all in the DeWalt Tough Case.

Going to start another thread and put a link to it here:
