NOTE|
- Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
- All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25 of ambient temperature. ℃
- This is MeanWell suggested range, please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
- Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- Constant current operation region is within 50~100% rated output voltage.
- The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- The ambient temperature derating of 3.5 /1000m with fanless models and of 5 /1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m (6500ft).
