If it does, then you can add another load (i.e. a fan) and see if it drops further.
13.8v PSUs are simple circuits, usually meant to replace/simulate a car battery. Heck I need one of those; I have a CD stuck in my old CD player!

I was wondering if you meant parrallel. You think it would drop the voltage more than a normal 12v fan would? I'll try it when I get home. Hey I'll sell you this one for $12! :banana:
