Any SMPS experts out there want to figure out a cheap and easy way to make these current limiting to some extent? Even if its a narrow 'compliance' window, thats OK.
I'd like to be able to use 8 of these in series to charge a 96V SLA bank off generator power. I really like how 'substantial' these supplies are. They're very happy running off horrible generator power and handle violent voltage and frequency fluctuations. This is a big deal, since cheap SMPS and most every linear supply isn't terribly happy with that kind of stuff. Load down the battery bank, suddenly and dramatically increasing the generator load, causing the generator to bog momentarily. When that load is then removed and the generator is nearly unloaded, the voltage and violently shoot up and hunt around a bit. These supplies handle it great, most others do not.
I suppose the Fetcher Meanwell limiter could probably be modified to work with this? The idea here is to do this as inexpensively as possible and have it be quite reliable.
