I just bought a Meanwell S-240-24 240 Watt Power Supply. It runs on 24V. I got it cheap, therefore that is why I didn't get the 12V one. I need this to run a 172W pelt specd for 12V and 11.6 amp.
Here is the problem.. I am not an electronic guy, and this may have been a foolhardy purchase ($20 aint bad! ) however, I need to convert this to power my 12V. Unless you think my tec could handle 24?? Any suggestions?

Not sure where to post this, as I didn't see a power mod category.
Something doesn't make sense here. You said, "I need this to run a 172W pelt specd for 12V and 11.6 amp."

Got a link? It doesn't make sense that the TEC has the following specs:

Qmax = 172 W
Vmax = 12 V
Imax = 11.6 A

172 Watt Tec specs from Danger Den:

Qmax = 172 W
Vmax = 24.6 V
Imax = 11.3 A
dTmax = 69 °C
