but not THAT high. When I plugged this one in, there was a little explosion, I saw the flash, felt the heat at my fingers and the main circuit breaker popped out. However the power supply still works as before. Strange.

I found this one at one of my preferred shops. The nice thing is that the output voltage can be tuned from 11.3 to 15.6V. It also doesn't need active cooling and is pretty efficient. Designed to run 24/7 in closed spaces.
