Anyone try the Mean Well HEP-600C ?

Versions from 12V up to 54V and the 54V version can be adjusted to 60.5V and the amps adjusted from 5.2a to 10.5a.

Puts out 10.5A for 54V version, and the case is fan-less, and is vibration resistant. But $190, which is less than the awesome Satiator (which I have), but not as flexible.

The specs are here:

Seems to be a Lead Acid charger, but it has CC/CV features and I don't see why it wouldn't make a fine LiPo charger. Especially for touring, when you have to recharge hard and fast at charging stops.

Anyone tried this, yet? Or will I be the guinea pig for ES?

Why not get, two 36V, HRP, NES, SE in a 450W or 600W or higher model.
12A or more in 36V.
19A or more in 24V.
Fully adjustable current.

Total cost $120.
Save yourself $70.

Because money is not the issue. When touring I want 500W recharging from a single manageable bike-mounted charger.

5Watt/in^3, not the best power density for a meanwell. I feel like I'm just infatuated with the RSP-2000 which has INSANE density, and as a consequence the other lines just seem run of the mill.

What particularly stands out on the HEP-600C for you? I suppose it is fanless which is good. But, otherwise, looks similar to the other 600W version. It may however be smaller than the overly bulks PSP series.
