Newbie trying to set up Megawatt for charging
Trying to figure out what all I need to set up a Megawatt for charging 2 120 amp AGM batteries. I was looking at the s-400 Megawatt,cuting one end off some cheap 4 gauge jumper cables from amazon....

I would probably spring the cash for the Meanwell but I am looking to use the megawatt for 6 months to 1 year max. I will be in Mexico for the next 3 months and I found down there my solar has a hard time keeping some days, so figured I should add a battery charger to the mix to run for a few hours in the morning.
Megawatt and Meanwell are NOT battery chargers ! They are AC to DC fixed voltage, power supplies. They have very limited amount of manual range of adjustment.
Will they charge your battery ? ABSOLUTELY, if you are charging it at the battery manufactures recommended voltage. THEY WILL COOK YOU BATTERY JUST AS EASILY ! Run them on a old fashioned mechanical 60 minute timer.
