Abstract
ICT equipment is usually replaced at regular intervals, usually before the equipment has failed, opening up the opportunity of providing a second-life through repurposing. In this paper we investigate the technical feasibility of repurposing the standard ATX power supply found in many desktop computers into a 12V battery charger. We provide an overview of the ATX power supply before describing how the power supply may be modified into a battery charger alongside experimental results.
