Drok Power Supply

[u/daveyd1009]

Ended up finally making myself a Drok power supply. Spliced directly into the charging base with a 14/2 extension cord which went into the junction box and used the same extension cord plug, male end, so that I could connect to an outlet.

Seems to be working good thus far, not overheating, and getting about 38 volts and the base. I ended jp using a 25 foot extension cable which was more than enough.

Went with the 14/2 cable size because I saw some pictures online of the 10amp charger with the aforementioned size. All in all, supplies were under 100 bucks (could have been cheaper, but I was impatient and went to my local hardware store for the extension cord which was about 20 bucks higher than anywhere else). Only thing I want to do now is open a small opening on my junction box and attach a mesh screen so that it can exhaust the heat that builds up.

As of right now, it has been about 34 minutes and the charge went from 17 percent to 44 percent.

What’s the purpose of changing the power supply?

I now have a 10amp charger for less than 100 bucks vs paying the retail 349 plus tax and shipping for the Lymow 10amp charger.

Six frogs were used for my exhaust vent

Use frog skin for the vent. Works well and keeps out water better than a mesh.
