DC/DC Charger anyone?

Post by Elrast » Fri Mar 09, 2012 2:30 pm

My current system uses a battery charger to power the PCs and a battery in parallel (DC bus).

Problem is, the battery charger is turning out to be using 20W in idle and the fan seems always :(

Has anybody explored the idea of using a high power silent PSU (eg like the Seasonic I got sitting in storage), then chaining a DC/DC converter that workers as a 3 stage charger?

Starting the research now, but if anybody has been down this path, please share info :D

Thanks
