if you have a extra computer power supply it can be used as a power source some can take 30 amps at 12v.

i found the computer power supply wasn't man enough i blew out my 500w psu running it at a constant 20 amps. i am now in the throws of winding a microwave transformer to give me 13.8V @ 100Amps. but to do this i have had to cut out the secondary winding and rewind it with 20 turns of 4mm cable, doing this the transformer should produce around 166Amps AC.
so i am limiting it by the fact the biggest bridge rectifier i can find is 100Amps @ 36v.

be warned my system in the UK is 230volts AC so the number of turns to get 13.8v in the US will be different as your system is 110AC i believe
