RE: In car PSUs...

Keith,

Looking at the Craplin catalogue their part number WC76H (page 329) looks
to
be a variable voltage regulator capable of outputs of 4 - 12v at 3A with an
input range of 6 - 15v. Do you think this would do for what I'm after? It's
down as intended for driving motors but what do you think?
