Test conditions and notes5
- 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 4. The PSU 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 600mm*900mm 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. 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).

FAQ
What is the Mean Well NPP-450-24 designed for?
The NPP-450-24 is a 2-in-1 unit that can operate as either a battery charger or a power supply, depending on the mode selected via a jumper. It is aimed at commercial and industrial applications that need a high-power 24V-class solution. Typical use cases for this series include mobility equipment, robots, floor scrubbers, and control or security systems.
What are the main electrical ratings of the NPP-450-24?
This model is rated at 450W class output, with a listed power rating of 453.6W. The product data lists a 28.8V output voltage and 13.5A rated current. Those specs make it suitable for buyers looking for a higher-power charger or supply in this voltage class.
Can the NPP-450-24 be used as both a charger and a power supply?
Yes. One of the main differentiators of the NPP-450-24 is that it supports both battery charging mode and power supply mode in a single product. That can reduce the need to source separate units when an application may require either charging capability or stable DC power output.
What battery type is this model suitable for?
The datasheet specifically states that the NPP-450-24 is suitable for lead-acid batteries (flooded, Gel and AGM). It also features a 3-stage charging curve for charging mode. If your project uses a different battery chemistry, you should verify fit before purchase rather than assuming compatibility.
Is the NPP-450-24 suitable for harsh or variable environments?
Yes, this model is built for demanding operating conditions, with a specified temperature range from -30°C to +70°C (derating applies at higher temperatures per the derating curve). It also includes a cooling fan whose speed depends on internal temperature to support thermal management. That makes it a practical choice for industrial or equipment-based environments where ambient conditions can vary widely.
What protection and certification features does the NPP-450-24 include?
The NPP-450-24 includes built-in protection for short circuit, overload, over voltage, and over temperature conditions. The datasheet also lists approvals including CB, UL, DEKRA, and EAC, with compliance to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 and IEC/EN60335-1/2-29 standards.
