      Do NOT get PC power supplies, yes you get the ~1000W on 12V but in order to actually utilize it you have to rig the wiring and connect all those little connectors together.

      Something like this will get you there for less:

      They will have somewhat exposed terminals, i.e. make sure you know what to do.

      Note:
      Before you say 12 or 24V, make sure to look at your charger limits, many chargers have an input current limit i.e. not aware of a 12V charger that can take 80A.
      Typically, you want to stay with 24V in those scenarios.

      If you want it cheaper and are handy, you can do this:

        I might have a 12v power supply at my apt. It's either 750W or 1500W. Server power supplies, the right ones are excellent for chargers. I built a 24v supply out of 2 unit. 24v @ 1500W

        These are good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/18528970151...3ABFBM-sW4x-Ji

            I could probably build you one like mine for about $60-$80 Cdn. It would be 1200W @ 24v

              You’ll find what you need on eBay, I just upgraded to this 3000 watt power supply for my pulsar 3+

              Few cables and it’s good to go.

                I second (or, it's is now 'third') the "stay away from PC power supplies" comment. Server power supplies, yes...but, typical home PC power supplies, NO, NO, NO.

                  Hey buddy, I have 4, two set at 12v and two in series for 24v. I ran them before the move but now that my hobby room is on solar I can direct feed my chargers and no longer need them.
                  I can pull them out later today for pics and such.
