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. ...

One of the other members here, I think it was jrnymn7, modded a Boondocker 45. As I read his account of it, it still drops voltage as soon as it hits the target voltage, but the whole curve is higher in voltage. So instead of 14.6 dropping to 13.6, it's say 15.2 dropping to 14.2. BFL, you say your modded PM3-100 just stays at the 14.8? Just by setting the internal pot? Is the internal pot still present on the new models? On all sizes, or just the big guns?
He has a weird mixed up thing that is not proper so can't use that as an example of anything. Should be a warranty issue, off forum for the gory stuff between customer and seller.
Meanwhile, it did show that the PM4s are different from the PM3s for what happens when you change the voltage with the internal pot, which they both have. So my experience is with the PM3 and I cannot say if you can do the same with the PM4. The PM4 has that 15 minute fixed time in boost that seems to get in the way.
Boatandrv claims to be selling PM3s still at low cost too, but his blurb makes them sound like PM4s. I would pin the guy down on just what they are if buying in hopes of getting a PM3 you can modify for sure.
