Great for automotive electronics

DISCLAIMER: This power supply (and all other similar power supplies of various ratings) is designed to mimic a vehicle's electrical system so that it actually outputs 13.8 volts (the number of volts that the alternator puts out). ) ). So keep that in mind if you want to buy it for sensitive devices that require exactly 12 volts. If so, look elsewhere. It is perfect for any electronics designed to work in a car. What I bought it for, I have a Kenwood TM-281A and so far so good. I mostly scan and

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Disappears

Almost perfect machine, only one is missing!

Great product. I bought a Planar 8D-12 heater (like Webasto) which is normally built into cars, but I bought my heater to heat my 2 car garage. It does a great job, but I had no way of plugging it into a power source because these heaters typically use car batteries to power them. So I needed a power supply that could mimic a car battery power supply and this pyramid power supply does the job well by putting out the 13.8 volts I need and also needed something that could handle about 8 amps huh…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Fair enough, but...

Surprise. not quite declared 12 amps.

Works well. Efficiency 60%. Heavy, durable, well built. Box, Block and Advertising 12A DC, 14A Surge. However, if you look at the user manual, you will see that the thing switches itself off after 15 minutes if it is continuously operated at rated load. It doesn't run continuously at 90% or even 80% (causing it to shut down after 25 minutes). After turning it off, it should be back to normal "in about 15-30 minutes". The manual states that it is "designed for continuous operation at 70% of…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some problems
