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
Is the Mean Well NPB-240-24AD1 suitable for charging 24V battery systems?
This model is built as a 240W battery charger with a 28.8V DC output and 8A rated current, which aligns with many 24V battery charging applications. It is best suited where the required charging voltage and current fit those published output specifications.
Can the NPB-240-24AD1 be used in portable or service battery charging setups?
Yes, this model is a cable-type charger variant with an Anderson-style output connector, which makes it relevant for mobile charging or service use where that connector format is preferred. Buyers should still confirm that the target battery system matches the charger's 28.8V DC output and 8A rating.
What charging features does the NPB-240-24AD1 offer?
The published description lists PFC, universal AC input, and 2-stage or 3-stage charging. Those features make this model more application-specific than a basic fixed-output power unit, especially where controlled battery charging behavior is required.
How do I know if 240W and 8A are enough for my application?
This charger is rated for 28.8V DC output at up to 8A, with a maximum power of 243.2W. It is a fit only when the target system is designed for that output voltage and remains within both the 8A current limit and the 243.2W power limit.
What operating temperature range is this charger rated for?
The published working temperature range for the NPB-240-24AD1 is -30°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures (see the derating curve). That gives it a broad thermal range for industrial and commercial use, but the provided data does not include an IP rating, so environmental claims should stay within the listed specifications.
Can this model also serve as an AC-DC power supply as well as a battery charger?
The product is described as an AC-DC single output battery charger and is also categorized under power supply ranges. Its published output is 28.8V DC at 8A, so it may be considered where an application specifically requires that output, but this model is clearly positioned around battery charging use.
