Thanks Mex. I copied your post and added it to a file with some of your other postings, for future reference.
landyacht318 and all,
I looked through the Mean Well models for ~24A Current Rating and Constant Current Limiting Overload Protection and found the SE-350-15.
One thing I am not clear on and would like some help. If I charge the batteries with the on-board converter (Iota DLS-55/IQ4, Bulk 14.8V, Absorb 14.2V) until it goes into float mode, and then turn it off and start charging with a Mean Well SE-350-15 adjusted to 15.0V (rated at 23A @ 15.0V), will it charge at 23A? Or will the amps be significantly lower because the batteries are close to fully charged?
To meet Mex's Top Charging formula, they need to be Top Charged at ~5% of battery capacity. In my case 480 AH capacity X 5% = 24A.
Thanks all.
