Anyone know of or have a link to a wall power source for the 1HV. Tried to find a 10.8V 800 mAh power supply locally but no luck. I getting tired of switching out batteries...lol

I invested in a variable voltage and current bench power supply some time ago.

I got a 0-20V 3A(important as mine draws 2.5A when performing) with variable current control (saved at least 2 servos from burning out)

I saw those but I am looking for something small, around the size of the charger.

As I mentioned, it needs to be around 3 Amps = 3000 ma

That seems like a awful lot 3000ma. How did you find out that is the draw and are you positive? I just dont want to take the chance of ruining it.

Hi, the robot I have is a Manoi, which has the Kondo 4024 HV servos.

When doing energetic routines, the power draw regularly hits my 3A current limit and I get a warning from the PSU.

Normal walking, etc 1.5 - 2.5 amps.

OK, cool. I'm going to try out a 3a power supply tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

Power supplies
Just bought one of THESE not massively expensive (on sale at the moment) and it has 0.1 incremental control over Voltage and Amps.

Looks perfect! I wish I had found one like that before I spent $$$ for mine. Does it have other power terminals on the back?
