There are many 2 amp variable DC power supplies around. But most low-end ones will make it too easy to change the voltage when you don't want it to change. This might make for a bad day if it accidentally gets cranked up too high.

This one is regulated, has a 6 volt setting, and the voltage setting is not too easy to change. I have one and it's decent as long as you don't run it at full load (2 Amps) for too long. $32 is a lot of money for this, shop around and you'll be able to find it for a lot less. Look for MW122A it goes by many brand names.

BTW, at 3 and 4.5 volts it's also good for powering HP handhelds.


p.s. MCM has it on sale for under $18 (+ shipping and tax)

This looks like the same thing too.
