I got the lihium battery charging dc-dc converters over the weekend. I plugged them into a 12V power supply and tweaked the output to be 4V and 4A output. I initially had it set to 5A, but it seemed like it was getting a bit warm for my liking. Granted, I was pumping 5A through alligator clips haha. That might have had something to do with it. I'll revisit that later when things are more finalized.

I am hoping to get the AC to DC power supplies today, and then I can test the charging side of this thing.
