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. ...

lol, Yeah, that kinda got put on the back burner. I'm just not sure what they can do for me at this point. The pm pulls 9a, while my peak 40 only pulls about 6.5a, and apparently the vec1093 pulls about the same. And I'm limited for ac current, so I can't even pair up the pm with anything; not even my 20a gopher, until later in the charge cycle.
So, I guess they could send me a 60 amper, like I originally paid for, but that would probably just get stored as a back-up, anyway. And besides, the lid would be coming off it the moment it arrived, so...?
The PF corrected 75 should draw about the same as the non-PF 60, and not much different in price. But I have no idea how it would go now for warranty of course.
If it now goes to 14.8 holding at 45 amps all the way to 14.8 and then holds 14.8 while amps taper, you could use that for something I guess.
Well, that's the thing, it doesn't have the normal profile of cc and cv. It starts in cc, but never switches to cv, so the volts don't stay up high at my setting, but rise slowly to my setting by the end of the cycle. So the whole time, amps are suffering due to the lower voltage throughout.
Perhaps what I lose at the beginning I gain at the end, but I haven't considered that 'til just now.
