So Quadrocopter sells the eFuel 1200 power supply. Anyone have any idea if this can be used for more than just powering the battery charger? For example, can I use it like a bench power supply? Can I pretend its a battery and hook it up to the PDB to power the flight control and ESCs while the copter is on the bench? Or is the power not conditioned enough? Unfortunately I do not have an oscilloscope to take a look at the power coming out of it.
Dan it is adjustable on the output. But a desktop power supply would be more accurate. I've got a Mastech HY1803D, under $100 and goes to 18V. It won't spin up all of the motors but for testing purposes it has performed well. I run 2 chargers with 2 eFuels and they have been solid performers.
