QUESTION. Megawatt 29-Amp model Maximum Amperage?

Yes they have ratings but I am interested in knowing how long and how hard they can be "pushed" at a rational voltage setting - say 14.4 volts?

The larger bruiser is now available and I see I made a typo with it's rating. I posted 60 amperes. That is incorrect. It is rated at 50-amps nominal. It's actual capacity I am inclined to believe would be the same percentage difference between what the 29-amp unit is rated and what it will actually produce.

Sorry about the typo. On my fartsmone the numbers 5 and 6 are difficult for me to distinguish apart. My bad eyesight finished the error. The units can be paralleled.

  • I contacted the guy about the 50A and it only goes to 14.5V. BTW, MEX to answer your question, I have run my 30A maxed out for hours set at 14.8V with no hiccups.
  • Mex, I thought you intimated that you conversed with the Guy at MegaWatt.

    I see they just recently added the 50 amp megawatt on their site.

    They really need to have better spec pages on these if they are serious about selling them.
  • That's what told to me. But I gotta confess I much prefer the idea of leaving the voltage adjusrment alone and using an inexpensive DC/DC booster or boosters to do all the high-wire stuff. Those boosters have inherent overwattage protection built-in. MPJA is selling 4-amp 16-volt regulated bricks for $2.98 ea. Twelve bucks will buy a lot of 16 volt regulated bricks. 20-amps worrh of bricks will equalize a fairly decent size bank of batteries. And without risking a power supply. My 12-volt supplies shall not ever be set higher than 15.0 volts.
  • Mex, you also posted 10.8 to 16.2v adjustable. The site says 10-14v. Can you confirm if the higher range is correct? Thanks!
