MEAN WELL NPP-450-24 combines a three-stage lead-acid battery charger and a constant-voltage AC/DC power supply in one NPP-450 unit. Default charging settings are 28.8 V boost, 27.6 V float and 13.5 A constant current. Charger maximum output is 453.6 W; power-supply mode is rated 453.6 W. Both modes are subject to voltage, input and temperature limits.

Default Battery-Charger Output
Full model
NPP-450-24; NPP-450 series, 24 V model code.
Default boost charge voltage
28.8 V.
Default float charge voltage
27.6 V.
Maximum output current
13.5 A; factory charging-curve CC setting.
Maximum output power
453.6 W in charger mode, subject to all derating limits.
Voltage adjustment
21–42 V through the front Vo Adj. potentiometer; the charger specification identifies the adjustable quantity as Vfloat.
Current adjustment
6.75–13.5 A (50–100%) through the front Io Adj. potentiometer.
Suggested battery capacity
45–155 Ah; confirm the battery manufacturer's maximum charging current and charging requirements.
The model code identifies the nominal voltage class; use the actual boost and float settings when selecting a battery. This model supports lead-acid flooded, gel and AGM batteries.
One unit provides both operating modes. Leave CN71 pins 3 and 4 open for the default battery-charger mode; connect the supplied mode jumper between pins 3 and 4 for constant-voltage power-supply mode.
Power-Supply Mode
DC output voltage
28.8 V at the catalogue setting.
Rated output current
13.5 A; the voltage-dependent current limit also applies.
Rated output power
453.6 W in power-supply mode.
Voltage / current adjustment
21–42 V and 6.75–13.5 A through the front potentiometers.
Ripple and noise
300 mVp-p maximum.
Voltage tolerance
±1.0%.
Line / load regulation
±0.5% / ±1.0%.
Set-up / rise time
1800 / 60 ms at 230 VAC, full load.
Typical hold-up time
16 ms at 230 VAC and 75% load; 10 ms at 230 VAC and full load.
Charging Sequence and Output Limits
Three-stage charging
Constant current at 13.5 A, constant voltage at 28.8 V, then float at 27.6 V. The curve marks transition to float at 10% of CC.
Charger indicator
Red during stages 1 and 2; green during stage 3 float or when fully charged; no light indicates an abnormal state.
Power-supply indicator
Green for normal operation; no light indicates an abnormal state.
Voltage-dependent current
The curve permits 100% current up to 33.6 V, then limits current to 80% (10.8 A) above that knee through 42 V.
Output voltage multiplied by output current must remain within the applicable mode's power rating. Voltage, input-voltage and temperature limits apply together; adjustment to a higher voltage does not increase available power.
Input and Protection
Input voltage / frequency
90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC; 47–63 Hz for AC input.
Input connection
AC inlet and ON/OFF switch on the fan end; provide the protective-earth connection shown in the installation drawing.
PFC and inrush control
Active PFC and active inrush-current limiting. Typical power factor >0.98 at 115 VAC and >0.95 at 230 VAC, full load.
Typical input current / inrush
4.5 A at 115 VAC; 2.2 A at 230 VAC. Cold-start inrush is typically 50 A at 230 VAC.
Typical efficiency
93%, measured at 33.6 V charging voltage with the stated catalogue test conditions.
Short-circuit protection
Constant-current limiting; shutdown after 5 seconds, then re-power to recover. The specified short-circuit behaviour applies after turn-on.
Power-supply overload protection
105–115% of rated output power; constant-current limiting followed by shutdown after 5 seconds. Re-power to recover.
Overvoltage protection
43–52 V; output shuts down and latches off. Re-power to recover.
Overtemperature protection
Output shuts down and recovers automatically after temperature falls.
Unless otherwise stated, catalogue measurements use 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. The block diagram specifies an 80 kHz PFC oscillator and 60 kHz PWM oscillator.
Remote Control and Status Signals
CN71 pins 7 (Remote ON-OFF) and 8 (+12V-AUX) accept a dry-contact connection. Short them for ON, the factory default; pin 7 is then 10.8–13.2 V. Open them for OFF; pin 7 is then −0.5–0.5 V. The maximum remote-control input voltage is 13.2 V.
Pin 6 is Charger OK in charger mode and DC OK in power-supply mode. Its TTL output is high at 4.5–5.5 V during normal operation and low at −0.5–0.5 V during failure or protection activation.
Pin 5 is the Battery Full TTL output: low at −0.5–0.5 V while charging and high at 4.5–5.5 V when full. Both status outputs source a maximum of 10 mA and are output signals only.
Status and remote-control signals reference GND-AUX on pins 9 and 10, which is isolated from the main +V and −V terminals. Pin 8's auxiliary output is controlled by Remote ON-OFF.
Temperature, Cooling and Installation
