place where I could build a good DC power supply for my Power Supply
I was wondering if anyone had some instructions or a link to directions on how to build a DC power supply for my charger. I know it involves computer parts but that is the extent of my knowledge. Thanks in advance.

You can use a computer power supply as a 12v DC power source if you do not want to buy a DC power supply. This is not as cheap as it use to be because of the availablilty of cheaper dc power supplies now. Check out this website for a dc power supply. www.b-p-p.com

You can of course use a lead acid battery as the power source (useful if charging in the field) A good ready made PSU with the right connectors for chargers are available for £30, and a decent PC PSU is probably around that if not more plus you'll have to do some minor surgery to it.
Not worth it IMO- I could understand it if even lowest end dedicated modeller's PSU's were £100+

Unless, of course, you happen to have an old unused hulk of a computer lying around with a halfway decent power supply in it. Going and buying a ps for a computer to turn into a PSU doesn't make sense, but using available parts does.
