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. ...

BFL, on the PM3, how did simply adjusting the voltage pot make it hold the full voltage in absorption, and also no longer float? Or do I have that wrong?
I don't know how it does it :) The procedure is to plug it in on bench no load with multimeter in the output. You will see it says 13.6. turn that up to 14.8. put the lid back on. done.
Now when you start the recharge from any SOC , it will bring the battery voltage up to 14.8 (Bulk Stage) and then it stays at 14.8 while amps taper. (Absorption Stage) that's it.
I don't know if it will ever float after a long time at 14.8, since I never leave on that long. I suspect all the voltages will rise when you crank up the pot. On the Paramode, which also has that internal pot, when I cranked that up to 14.8 (from 14.2) it also raised the float voltage from 13.6 to 14something, forget number.
Well that sounds ideal for a fast genset charger. Is there a question about the durability, then?
