12v DC supply for mini computer

[cmcardle75]

And to think that Digital were brought and taken over by that upstart Compaq. How did that happen? At least HP did the decent thing and purchased Compaq. I was working for HP at the time and within 1 day of the takeover I got transferred to a Compaq project which was really all Ex Digital.

Years before I had a micro and I didn't really have a real DEC PDP-11 but I did have the PDP-11 BASIC programming manual which I used to learn to code.

I wrote my first computer program in DEC BASIC when I was five years old. I still remember the excitement at the VT-100s arriving shortly afterwards. It was all teletypes until then!

The Talentcell idea could work.
Maybe even with my YB1206000 3A o/p rated model

but they have beefier ones.
It works well on my scope - still on the 1st charge after 4 nights viewing and scope moving. Different load to the OP.

They can be on charge while in use.
edit: It comes with a y-split cable to help with in use charging as the In is also the Out

So you are saying charge this from the van socket ( 12 -15 Volts (ish) ) Then use it to power the 12v pc. I guess that would work, but I imagine it is more expensive than the 12v regulator.

btw I got this response from the AcePc technical help line:

When I asked about using the car socket directly

Hello,
It should be possible. However, the current stability may not be so good and it is not recommended to do this.

When I asked about using the regulator:

Hello,
It is possible to use this but the ripple size is not known. If the ripple is large and used for a long time, the PC may be damaged. This should be noted.
