Concerning Mega Watt's Posted Duty Cycles:
"The power supply is rated at 36 Amps, 90% duty cycle (not peak power) Peak power means full power for only a split second burst. A 90% duty cycle means 30 minutes at 36 amps and 3 minutes at 30 amps to cool down for another run at 36 amps."
Apparently, when using these power supplies AS chargers, the correct size of psu should remain in cc for no more than maybe 15 minutes, followed by amps tapering. So, shouldn't one size the unit accordingly?
If so, the psu should be of a charge rate that reaches its voltage setting rather quickly, then tapers amps. So the question arises, at what Charge Rate (C/?) would a 60a unit work very well with a bank discharged to 50%?
