The MW Se-450-12 Spec sheet claims it shuts down on overload, instead of claiming constant current limiting on overload.
http://www.meanwell.com/search/se-450/SE-450-spec.pdfIf your battery is depleted enough to max out this unit, it will likely cycle on and off,
Instead of holding a solid 40 amps until Absorption voltage is neared, like my MeanWell rsp-500-15.
The se-450-12 also lista a maximum voltage of 13.5v, but likely goes higher.
My rsp-500-15 claims a maximum voltage of 16.5 but actually goes to 19.23v. Take that sulfation... Bwahahahahuuhahahaaaaa.
I do not think the se-450-15 is a good unit for battery charging applications. Perhaps for being a power source at float voltages, but fast charging, or EQ'ing, the megawatt will outperform it.
A shame the MW RSP-500-15 is on backorder at most sites, but I think it was well worth the 127$ I paid for it with tax and shipping last September
