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 are the main output specifications of the Mean Well NPB-240-48AD1?
The NPB-240-48AD1 is a 240W AC-DC battery charger with a 57.6V DC output and 4A rated current. It is designed for 48V battery charging applications and includes power factor correction. This model is supplied with an Anderson connector.
Is the NPB-240-48AD1 a battery charger or a standard power supply?
This model is specifically described as a battery charger rather than a general-purpose fixed-voltage power supply. It supports 2-stage or 3-stage charging, which is a charger-specific feature intended for battery charging profiles. Buyers comparing charger and PSU products should treat this as a dedicated charging unit.
What types of applications is the NPB-240-48AD1 best suited for?
The NPB-240-48AD1 is suited to 48V battery charging applications where a 57.6V DC charging output and 4A current are appropriate. Its cable-type output with an Anderson-style connector makes it relevant for buyers looking for a ready-to-use charger format rather than a bare industrial PSU. It is generally a fit where controlled battery charging is required instead of simple DC output power.
Can the NPB-240-48AD1 be used in demanding indoor or industrial environments?
This charger has a wide working temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures (see the derating curve). That makes it suitable for demanding indoor or industrial environments within that temperature window. Buyers should still confirm the overall enclosure and site conditions match their application requirements.
What charging behavior does the NPB-240-48AD1 support?
The NPB-240-48AD1 supports either 2-stage or 3-stage charging. That makes it more application-specific than a basic DC output unit, because staged charging is intended to manage the battery charging process rather than just provide constant output. For buyers selecting a charger, this is one of the key differentiators of this model.
What should buyers know about size, weight, and warranty for this model?
The unit measures 182.7 x 96 x 49mm and weighs 1.3 kg, which is useful when evaluating bench-use charger options and handling for fleet, service, or B2B replacement planning. The datasheet does not state a warranty period, so confirm warranty terms with the seller.
