Does anyone have any personal experience with using a Powermax 12V supply?
I'm looking for a 100A supply and these are appealing.

Yes. Run one on my 2970N2. PM3-100LK.
You can call them and talk about the application. Those guys are knowledgeable.

Looking at the PM4-100LK. Basically the same thing from what I understand as far as being run in "fixed output" mode.
I called, their recommendation was the PM3. Read how the switching operates and compare. There are some reviews I read concerning the difference, most compelling was one from a radio operator. He uses the PM3
I have no idea. Give them a call. Many applications for their power supply. They make Boondocker and some used for boats.
Got the recommendation then ordered mine from Amazon.
They carry the PM3. It didn't come up in generic search, had to be specific. Think it was a little more.

I run a pm3 on my 4 pill Xforce. Fixed output mode no problems at all. Only had the fan kick into high speed a few times. Otherwise fan very quiet.
That's right, you got one too! Couldn't remember who.

That's where I got my pm4 last week for the same price, actually had a $50 gift card so it was an excellent price point.
From what I understand the difference between the pm3 & pm4 is 3 stage vs 4 stage charging. So there is no difference when being used as a 12 volt power supply.
I have one, running my Galaxy 88, 939, Superstar 400, plus a mobile eq and a large amp on my 10" Cerwin Vegas... granted, the stereo isn't on while the Superstar is, but still... I bought the Powermax on recommendation from on here. I want to say it was Redbeard that convinced me. I do not regret it one bit.
