Mean Well PB-360P-24 Switching-Mode Battery Charger

PB-360P-24 is a 360 W single‑output switching‑mode battery charger from Mean Well, designed to charge 24 V lead‑acid battery packs with a reliable, fixed‑output profile. It provides a regulated CH1 output from 26 V up to 28.8 V, with a defined boost voltage of 28.8 V and a float range of 27.1–27.3 V, delivering up to 12.5 A (about 360 W) from a single channel. The unit accepts 180–264 VAC input at 47–63 Hz and achieves a typical power factor around 0.65 with efficiencies around 86–88% depending on input and load, reflecting its high‑efficiency design for worldwide mains. It implements a three‑stage charging profile and includes protections such as short‑circuit, overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature safeguards, with input‑to‑output isolation rated at 3 kV for safety. The enclosure measures 253 mm × 135 mm × 48.5 mm and uses a JST SXH‑001T‑P0.6 (or equivalent) mating connector for the battery lead, making it suitable for fixed installations in industrial, telecom, or backup power applications where a compact, 24 V charging solution is required.
