The power supply is not recommended for charging lead-acid batteries or maintenance-free batteries (SLA or VRLA batteries). The PS3031-4820-0000 power supply cannot provide the recommended end-of-charge voltage of 55.0 V (at 20°C) for four 12 V lead-acid batteries in series. Series connection Power supplies of the same type can be connected in series to increase the output voltages.
The maximum permissible feed-back voltage is 63 Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the large built-in output capacitor indicated in the output data, see Output [} 13] chapter. PS3031-4820-0000 Version: 1.0...
