P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply

As avid electronics tinkerers and RC enthusiasts will know, power management and battery health can become tricky when operating in more advanced ways than just single cells. We have a tendency as Makers to step up any simple project slowly in complexity over time as new ideas come into play and rapidly outdate previous designs, leading to further iterations until finally the project is completely different from the original plan. This is typically how we get better at our skills: by doing more than just following tutorials and actually breaking out of “guidelines” to experiment on our own terms. However, while this is certainly an awesome way to build projects, which usually leads to even more learning and refining of capabilities, it can present a range of unique challenges, particularly in regards to powering the project as well as all of the components and modules attached to it. That’s why the ToolkitRC P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply is so perfect for a handy portable PSU that supplies controlled output voltage and current for powering any device or LiPo charger you want.

This upgraded ToolkitRC P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply is an ideal multipurpose PSU device, offering AC or DC input modes, a built-in 100W GaN AC power supply, and a USB type-C fast charging output as well. ToolkitRC boasts more stability and protection features, such as current protection and voltage adjustability. Tiny as it is, this awesome tool gives us a peek at what is to come with the exciting invention of GaN transistor material, enabling more efficient and powerful devices in smaller form factors than ever before. The P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply can reach up to 100W using AC or as high as 200W with DC power. Two banana connector sockets and a USB-C output port provide means for charging and operating TS80P or TS100 soldering irons, LiPo chargers, drone components such as VTX, and even fast charging your phone or cameras.

Created as part of the ToolkitRC range, this P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply features many of the same features as the first P200 version. Both power supplies keep the user experience in mind, catering to all hobbyists who want an easy-to-use powering solution. A 1.54-inch LCD display and simple user interface make the P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply a joy to work with. Minimal space is used on your desk, and the P200 V2 Mini Desktop Power Supply is easily suitable for travel.
