  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).

FAQ

What is the output rating of the Mean Well HEP-600C-24?

The HEP-600C-24 is a 600W battery charger with a 28.8V boost and 27.2V float charge voltage and 21A rated current. It is designed for higher-power DC charging applications that need a regulated 3-stage charging profile. The output current is adjustable from 10.5 to 21A.

What kinds of applications is the HEP-600C-24 suited for?

This model is aimed at industrial and commercial charging of open and sealed lead-acid batteries that need a high-power charger with PFC. Its 600W capacity, 28.8V boost charge voltage, and harsh-environment design make it a fit for demanding B2B environments where durability and stable charging performance matter. Mean Well suggests a battery capacity of 70 to 210AH.

Can the HEP-600C-24 operate in harsh environments?

Yes. The HEP-600C-24 is specified for operation from -40°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. It is also rated for 10G vibration (20 to 500Hz) and 20 to 95% RH non-condensing humidity, which supports use in tougher industrial environments.

What input range does the HEP-600C-24 support?

This charger supports a wide AC input range of 90 to 264VAC (277VAC operational) and also accepts 128 to 370VDC. It also includes built-in power factor correction (PF>0.95 at 230VAC), which is beneficial in installations where power quality and compliance are important. The universal input range makes it suitable for use across varied supply conditions.

How efficient is the Mean Well HEP-600C-24?

The HEP-600C-24 is rated for a typical efficiency of 94.5%. High efficiency helps reduce wasted energy and lowers heat generation during operation. That supports reliable performance in thermally demanding environments.

What protection features are included in the HEP-600C-24?

This model includes over voltage protection (32.5 to 36.5V) and over temperature protection. In both cases the unit shuts down the output voltage and recovers when it is re-powered. These features help protect both the charger and the broader system during abnormal conditions.
