Naio, how many amps do you need/ desire?
The meanwell/megawatts have very small voltage adjustment dials requiring insertion of a jewelers screwdriver and a fine touch, and you also need to provide the AC cord as well as the DC output cables.
And of course they are not automatic and can overcharge if set too high and left on too long.
The Meanwell SE-350-15 has the constant current limiting feature which makes it good as a battery charger.
MW SP-480-15
RSP-500-15
The middle number is the rated wattage. They exceed this by 25% or so, my rsp500-15 will do 600 watts.
The second number indicates their voltage range median point.
My RSP 500 15 specs 33.4 amps and a range of 13.5 to 16.5v
It actually does 40 amps and its voltage range is 13.12 to 19.23v.
