Nuclear cheapowatt. Long story short I had a 30 amp 22$ power supply. Rigged it with better ventilation and an external voltage potentiometer, but if I set voltage high enough so that it could produce more than 36.2 amps, it made a buzzing/clicking sound.
Adjust voltage pot to keep amperage below 36.2, and all was well.
Got sick of twiddling pot upwards in increments to keep amperage into depleted battery just below 36.2 amps as battery charged. So I set it unloaded to 14.7v, hooked it to a well depleted battery, and 17 minutes later of 36+ amps output, the magic smoke genie escaped.
I then ordered the meanwell rsp-500-15 and have been releasing flatulence in the direction of automatic charging sources ever since and getting excellent service from a hard working TPPL AGM with all my manual adjustable voltage charging sources.
