Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Does Maximite need a power supply?

The white one is a much better product. Survived the drop test and I couldn't easily pry it open without fear of breaking something. It's also rated at 1000mA. FYI.

Thanks Rob, sounds a lot better. I was interested to see how you went.

Cheers Don...

Rob,

The eBay page says
•Output : 5V~12V / 1A

Is that a typo, or does the voltage fluctuate a bit?

A battery backed Power Supply would be good for projects that require the Maximite to always be on, such as a home alarm system.

yes nick thats a must for any alarm system i have a 36 volt battery system including solar panals and also a wind generator ...the maxi should have to be constantly on line for "what ever purpose that it is running" i have three maxi`s atm one constantly on line from a 12 volt tap from my 36 volt system but hence to say most peops dont have this advantage of having 250 a/hour supply on hand i think that really what they need is a 12 volt sla with a trickle charger connected to it ...regards sparkey

Typo, USB only supplies 5v.
