anyone made a 12v battery charger out of a old computer power supply, i know i can buy one for 8-12 dollars but i got an old power supply and was going to try make one .i seen utube videos and read a few posts and they look easy(ish) to convert.
that's funny the old 300 watt AT powersupply I have by my desk will put out a maximum of 14 amps on 12 volt dc Now just think what one of the new 1000 watt atx powersupplies will put out when you mod them to use as a powersupply.

now remember a powersuppy was made to supply a constant rate of volts and amps. Where a battery charger puts out LESS amps as the battery becomes fully charged. If left to long on the power supply you could overcharge the battery.
IbedaYank yes i did not realized that i could overcharge it , so would i be able to use one if i watched it and checked it every hour or so to see if it be charged ?or is there anything i do to stop it overcharging?.
