    Which cheap PSU for tuning 12V to 15V

    Hi guys,
    I want to mod a PSU, 15v instead of 12v on the rail..... For the simple reason to get max effect from a TEC....

    Any inspiration for a PSU for me to mess with?

    It is not easy to do certainly if your referring to a PC PSU it is far easier just to get a 15v supply - check ebay.
    If you want to run a 15.4v TEC at 15v that's not a good idea especially if you don't like high fuel bills. 15.4v is maximum and like all electronics running them stressed like this leads to a shorter life.

    You may want to look At a variable power supply (DC) .Keep in mind current (watts) is volts x amps. Volts alone is not enough to make the calculations.
    The Laws of Thermodynamics say:

    Zeroth Law: "You must play the game."
    First Law: "You can't win."
    Second Law: "You can't break even."
    Third Law: "You can't quit the game."

    Do you wanna Play Thermodynamics ???????? I forgot "you must"
