Default Charger Power Source

What do you guys use for a power source for your chargers?

I have a TP 1010c, but when I want to charge my TP 5000, I get an error (7) invalid power source.

There's a simple mod you can do to the PC power supplies to get them to come up to rated Volts and amps. I believe it only involves a 1/2 watt, 1 ohm resistor (if I recall correctly). This may be all you need to get over the hump.

That one looks an awful lot like my Graupner 20A supply:

We use the 150W version of these at work.. Never had one fail. Stands to reason the 300W (12V@25A) would be of the same quality.
