Test conditions and notes5
  1. 1. Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
  2. 2. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  3. 3. This is Mean Well's suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
  4. 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
  5. 5. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

Is the HEP-600C-12 suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Yes. The unit is designed for harsh environments and is specified for operation from -40°C to +70°C, subject to its derating curve. It is also rated for 10G vibration (20 to 500Hz), which makes it a strong fit for demanding environments.

How efficient is the HEP-600C-12 battery charger?

The HEP-600C-12 offers a typical efficiency of 93.5%, which helps reduce heat and improve overall energy performance in continuous-duty applications. It also provides a remote ON/OFF control input and a 5V/0.5A standby output.

What protection features are included in the HEP-600C-12?

This model includes over voltage protection (16.5 to 20.5V) and over temperature protection. Both shut down the output voltage and recover when the unit is re-powered, helping protect the charger during abnormal operating conditions.

How does the HEP-600C-12 compare with basic battery chargers?

Compared with simpler chargers, the HEP-600C-12 stands out with its 600W output, 3-stage charging design, PFC, and -40°C to +70°C operating temperature range. It is better suited to demanding commercial or industrial duty than entry-level chargers.

What certifications and warranty does the HEP-600C-12 include?

The HEP-600C-12 is approved to UL62368-1, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004 safety standards, and it complies with EMC standards including BS EN/EN55032 (radiation class A, conduction class B) and BS EN/EN61000-4 immunity.
