Yeah, I guess I was listing an ideal automatic charger with user chosen setpoints.
Since they do not really exist, well that is why i said Eff it, I'm getting a powersupply with adjustable voltage pot, and will monitor it.
the cheapo watt just needed more monitoring than i though acceptable, requiring me to keep raising the voltage pot as the battery charged to keep the amps up high.
Setting the voltage then hooking it to the battery is what smoked the cheapowatt. the megawatts claim overload protection and so do Some Meanwells.
I'd not be happy if i got one or the other and they could not sit at at least 90% their rating for the whole bulk stage. The cheapowatt went to 125% the rating and stayed there until the spark show 17 minutes later. perhaps better heatsinking would have delayed the fireworks, but I doubt they would have stopped them
