Hope you don't mind!

No problem, its steel rod, soldered to and wrapped with single strand 12ga wire.

I did find a 24V power-supply from an Auto-Start jump-starting box for big diesels and other 24v vehicles, but it is huge and is just way too big for me to use.

I have also been thinking about hitting up Radio Shack for a few parts and building my own PS powered directly from any 110V home outlet, but I need to do some serious research first, and maybe even find a local electrician to help me out, so I don't light myself up or burn my house down...heh!

The reason I want/need so much power is because battery and charger technology is growing by leaps and bounds every day, and batteries can now be charged at 5C or more and chargers can deliver 20Amps or more, but in order to reach their maximum potential, they need 13-18Volts @ 20+Amps, and some are built to handle up to 32Volts!

a pc power supply is what you need :)
