I have built a portable charger station using 2 server power supplies (500W ea.) in series to power my LIPO batteries for radio control helicopters. I have a 24V feed for one charger and several 12V feeds for other chargers.
I want to add a 3 to 4 port USB hub for charging my ipod, cell phone etc using the +5V feed off of one of the power supplies. My question is this; can I just wire the pos wire from a usb hub (red) to the +5V power supply output and the black to ground and use it? are there other considerations I need to take into account? amps? I am not (yet) an electronics guru!!! just want to be sure I am not going to fry something!!!
