Hey there :-)

Just got a HP6260B 10V 100A Power supply for next to nothing. Almost broke my back lugging the 45kg thing home in my bike trailer and up the staircase to my appartement.

So now I need a problem for this solution. Any suggestions?
It seems to work fine.


Kind regards :-)

Make a welder of some sort? Maybe for battery tabs or a spotwelder for more general use?

Can you crank it up to 12V ? You can start your car when your battery is flat  ;)

But then he has to break his back again lugging it down the stairs to get close to his car. :-DD

Dang that is quite the beast of a PSU

I do have some big ass lab PSUs around and they come in useful at times. They mostly come in useful for stress testing things. If you want to see how well a cable or connector or relay or current shunt or ..etc can handle high current you can hook it up to such a PSU and send any current you want trough there while you watch how hot things get.

They can indeed also make good spot welders for things like battery tabs.

Tho dealing with the high currents they can provide can be tricky since you need some very fat cables to handle it. Got a 500A lab supply around here and the thing needs two 50mm2 cables in parallel to actually carry that current (and yet the cables still get so hot you can barely hold them)
