I did find a pot, it's gooped up but nothing I can't adjust. It's really tight in this supply I am going to have to mount the terminals and switch on the outside. this thing has a 120mm fan on it. I was thinking of moving it to the outside but I can route the wires cleaner on the outside.

The reason I wanted to raise it to 12V is if I am charging at around 6 amps the input voltage sags to about 11.2. The old supply was 14A. This one is 15A so they are about the same.

Do you think that only having a .5W load is enough for the +5V supply or should I bring it up to 1A?

Thanks for the info, I'll pick up some different resistors tomorrow.

Jeff
