Re: Which of these would make the best power supply for the K3(S)

[Doug Hensley]

See item # 220648795286.  I have two and they work well.  The seller stands behind their 2 year warranty and usually just ships a new replacement.  They hold up well.
36 Amp 12 Volt 13.8V DC Regulated Power Supply 12V Real USA MegaWatt®

 I have no vested interest in these other than as a satisfied customer.  China is introducing similar units for half the price but I will stay with MegaWatt until I know better.
Cheers,

MegaWatt seems to be implying with "Real USA," posting a copy of their
USA trademark registration, and warnings about Chinese copies, that this
is a U.S. made product. However, no where do they actually state that
their product is Made in USA.

The style of construction looks like it is made in Asia, and appears to
be without any safety certifications.

It might be a perfectly fine power supply, but if they are trying to
push a Chinese product as made in the USA, that makes me sad!

I looked at those units and saw no reference to any safety or emissions
certifications.
