Test conditions and notes7
- 1. Modification for charger specification may be required for different battery specification. Please contact battery vendor and MEAN WELL for details.
- 2. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 3. Refer to derating curve.
- 4. This is MEAN WELL's suggested range. Please consult your battery manufacturer for their suggestions about maximum charging current limitation.
- 5. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 6. This protection mechanism is specified for the case the short circuit occurs after the charger is turned on.
- 7. The charger is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. 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 )

FAQ
What is the Mean Well NPB-240-12TB used for?
The NPB-240-12TB is an AC-DC battery charger designed for 12V battery charging applications. It is suited to commercial and industrial use cases that need a charger of up to 205.2W with 2 or 3 stage charging and power factor correction.
What are the key output specifications of the NPB-240-12TB?
This model is rated for 205.2W maximum power and provides a 14.4V DC default boost charge voltage at up to 13.5A. Those published output values make it a dedicated 12V battery charger option within Mean Well's NPB-240 series.
Does the NPB-240-12TB support multi-stage battery charging?
Yes. Mean Well specifies this model with 2 or 3 stage charging, which makes it appropriate for battery charging applications rather than use as a basic fixed-output power supply alone. This is one of the main functional differences highlighted in the product description.
What input range does the NPB-240-12TB support?
The NPB-240-12TB is specified with universal AC input of 90-264VAC (or 127-370VDC). That makes it a practical choice for buyers who need flexibility across different standard AC supply environments without selecting region-specific input versions.
Can the NPB-240-12TB be used in demanding temperature conditions?
Yes. This charger is rated for operation from -30°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures (see the derating curve), which supports use in a wide range of indoor and industrial environments. Buyers should still confirm the surrounding application stays within the product's published temperature limits.
What warranty and physical characteristics does this charger have?
The unit measures 182.7 x 96 x 49mm and weighs 1.3 kg, which can matter when comparing portable or enclosure-based charger options for business equipment. The datasheet does not state a warranty period, so confirm warranty terms with the seller.
