Mean Well power supply for my usage
I've been reading old threads for a couple of hours. I'm fairly sure a Mean Well p.s. can do what I want to do, but I'd appreciate if one of you early adopters can point me to a specific model, etc. ...

The object here is for the optional PS to take over when the P.O.S. OEM converter decides to lean on a shovel, right?
A Mega will do fine. Set the voltage to 14.8 Two hour of "BOOST" at 14.4 will deliver around 60 to 70 amp hours. When it drops back to "NORMAL" at 13.6 the game is all over. The batteries are going to laugh at that unless you use a sundial as a timer. This is where a power supply kicks in and fills the gap at 14.8 volts.
BATTERIES DO NOT BOIL (bubble vigorously) AT 14.8 UNLESS YOU LEAVE THEM CONNECTED AND CHARGING FOR LONGER THAN 15 HOURS OR SO. It's like eating. Wolfing down hotdogs for 5 minutes will do a refuel job fast. Wolfing down hotdogs for an hour or two straight is a horse of another color. It is assumed a running generator will not be forgotten.
