64Power is the most advanced power supply on the market for the Commodore 64 computers. Ever worry about how your power supply is working? Is it providing enough power for stable operation, especially if you've added power hungry peripherals or an accelerator? Or, heaven forbid, are you using an original Commodore power supply? That is a ticking time bomb which can destroy your computer when (not if) it fails.
With 64Power you'll know exactly what's going on. Unlike any other power supply on the market, 64Power shows you the voltages being supplied on all rails, including positive 5 volts DC and 9V AC. That's right, your Commodore 64 requires ttwo different voltages for proper operation.
Perhaps even more importantly, 64Power provides a real time display of the 5 volt current being used - accurate to 0.1 amps. And 64Power is powerful, supplying a constant 3 amps. Easily monitor what power your Commodore 64 is consuming, watching for changes as you add hardware or for an early warning of something in your computer that may be failing.
Plenty of thought went into the ergonomic design of 64Power. Place it on your desktop and you'll have easy access to the front mounted switch. Also, both the input and output cables are on the back, keeping your desktop free from tangles of cables. Competing power supplies often have tiny or difficult to access switches with cables coming out of both ends resulting in a mess.
Both the modern switching power supply and the dual voltage AC transformer can operate at 110V or 220V and are designed for long term reliability and safety. We even included a user replaceable fuse that is the ultimate safety net should something unexpected happen.

Not much to say, it just works. Nicely built and easy to use.
This power supply is very reassuring to this old equipment. Watching the display may not “do” anything for the way it runs, but is nice visual for when I turn on the computer each time. I bought both a C64 and a C128 power brick. While they get warm, they don’t feel hot. Probably won’t find out if they last as well as this old stuff as another 30 years I probably will be beyond caring anymore!
None can Compare! I purchased two, one for a 64c, the other for a 64. They keep pace with all my accessories. Ample power 🔋 💪 ✨️ 🙌
Great products, looking forward to the Horizontal 1581 and a 128 power supply on my next order.
Power supply is very robust, much more than it looks on the pictures, and you have got good feeling it was absolutely worth your money. :-) Quick, helpful and very friendly communication with customer support. The only drawback remains the price for non-US customers where you have to add expensive shipping costs and import taxes... But on the other hand - you have to pay for the quality. ;-) So the final verdict: definitely recommended! Thank you BitBinders for great job done and your contribution to Commodore community.
