    In Dublin, ideally. I've looked on DoneDeal and Adverts but there's feck all there. It's not for the car, it's for an experiment that needs 15 amps or so to get it going. Doesn't have to be new, just working. I have an offer of one from a fellow Boardsie but am now looking for a second one.

    Any suggestions?

    You could get one from Traynors or any scrapyard that has one in the right size for about 20 quid.

    For EUR20 Ill do a one off deal and sell you a 300w DC Bench PSU plus a used Car Battery (well that part is free). I have a spare DC PSU here that would be perfect for mysterious experiments. :cool:
    You will need a trickle charger for the batteries though.

    I doubt many places have them as the metal in them is worth a lot these days.

    Try calling into a few garages and ask for any old ones lying about.
