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?
No. I want it to be the initial, bulk charge. Only for those times when I charge from a genset, up to two hours or so. From what I've been reading, it sounded like the p.s. would actually outperform any of the converter chargers for the first two hours of charging. Am I wrong about that?
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.
I'm not sure if you are saying using the Mega for the first two hours, or for two hours beginning after my converter drops to 13.6V. BTW I currently have WFCO, so 13.6 is probably the most it will ever do.
So am I on the wrong track?
