50 amps for 30 bucks? Daaaang!

Like I need another battery charger. But this is a smokin' deal, unless the smoke is literal. It says voltage is adjustable. I messaged the seller and asked the range, tho I don't know how good their english will be.

Linky.

Naio, I think you would like this one. It works great for me when I want full manual control of battery charging.

None of the power supplies are heavy. Not even before the CheapOwatt goes NYAANNT ZOOT and plays dead. Meanwell makes a nice 600 watt RSP15. But the Borg will kick its --- and walk away laughing.

Bumpy you are right
1kg is 2.2# , i did my math backwards
still 1.175kg is less than 3#

That's about 1#
Awful light weight for 600w
And I agree it like only adjusts down in voltage for dimming the led lights
Not up to 14+ for charging batteries
I think I would pass on this deal
Might be a good led light power supply
Not a good battery charger

last I heard there were about 454 g per lb.

Nehhhh...don't be a maroon. "What's Up Doc?" There's tons of difference between a flux reluctor and a flux modulator.

One weighs 3/4 oz the other 14lbs. Mess with the latter it'll turn you into a eunuch.

Nuclear cheapowatt. Long story short I had a 30 amp 22$ power supply. Rigged it with better ventilation and an external voltage potentiometer, but if I set voltage high enough so that it could produce more than 36.2 amps, it made a buzzing/clicking sound.

Adjust voltage pot to keep amperage below 36.2, and all was well.

Got sick of twiddling pot upwards in increments to keep amperage into depleted battery just below 36.2 amps as battery charged. So I set it unloaded to 14.7v, hooked it to a well depleted battery, and 17 minutes later of 36+ amps output, the magic smoke genie escaped.
I then ordered the meanwell rsp-500-15 and have been releasing flatulence in the direction of automatic charging sources ever since and getting excellent service from a hard working TPPL AGM with all my manual adjustable voltage charging sources.

Heard back from the seller. You guys are right -- it only adjusts UP TO 12v. Being a sweet chinese lady, she said, 'I am very sorry'.

Good. Glad she was honest.

Good. I stopped doing ebay years ago because of deception. Your experience is better than mine.

I buy a ton of stuff on ebay, and have never had someone lie to me about specs. Sometimes they don't KNOW, or don't understand the question if they are overseas...

I did once have a guy in the midwest sell me a used faucet that was missing a part :(. That was in the wee early days of ebay. But since then, all good.
