You would like an output somewhat more than the maximum load you intend the power power supply to carry.My motor draws 24VDC / 5A and runs off a lead acid battery. If I input 120VAC / 15A in a AC>DC power supply what does it out have to be to run the motor? I've been told an output of 24VDC / 5A is not enough.

Is it true that the motor will only take the amps it needs to run? As an example - If motor runs noload at 5A and needs 20A at certain times due to load, then the power supply could be rated at say 50A and the motor would be fine.
I measured the noload current which was 5A. I will try to measure the the load on the motor and see what it is.
No motor specs only the model number HRS-775S. I measured the noload current which was 5A. I will try to measure the the load on the motor and see what it is. Thanks.
But conversely, many power supplies are not pleased to be driving a motor!Generally most motors are easily pleased.
Depends on the motor and the power requirements of the motor. For example how large is the motor? I have run 12 VDC 10 Amp motors using old computer power supplies. Generally most motors are easily pleased.

Read what Jim B mentions. Then I suggest you give this link a read. While 24 VDC @ 10 Amp is useful it does not mention the type of DC motor. Thus as Jim mentions the devil is in the details.
