We decided to disassemble this power supply to see what it looks like inside, how it is designed, and what components are used. Please read our Anatomy of Switching Power Supplies tutorial to understand how a power supply works and to compare this power supply to others.

This page will be an overview, while in the following pages we will discuss the quality and ratings of the components used in detail. The first thing we wanted to check was whether this unit was based on the same design as other Huntkey power supplies we’ve tested to date. The answer was negative: Balance King 4500 uses a different internal design from Green Star, V-Power and Titan series.
