New RD6024 power supply?

Finger Mullet said:
How's she holding together with this setup.

Now most of the time I plan on using the 6024 for low wattage applications using my XT60 connection on my portable power station. But I do have two 48v 40ah lifepo4's that I use making toys and such for the grandkids. I also can use them in a pinch to bump up my 2kwh portable power supply to an extra 3.8kwh or so if a hurricane hits or something. I really want a quick charger for those two batteries.

I have done some additional loading of it beyond what I mentioned there, but not extensive. It's still running flawlessly, though. My solar/battery project got put on hold for a while due to some back issues that were severe and required treatment and then finally surgery, so now that I'm back to normal, I'll be working on things again more regularly.

Hello, first post. Bumping a thread. I just recently ordered a RD6024, no box or power supply. It is enroute from China and I am supposed to get it in a couple weeks. So I need to get a power supply, been looking at the above mentioned ZJIVNV 1500w power supply, seems decent. It is on Amazon right now for $135, link below. The two obvious choices seem to be what they claim to be the 60v/25a and the 72v/20a, yeah their math for watts is not spot on. Both types claim to be adjustable +/- up to 15% on the volts. Which way would you go, I'm leaning to the 72v and adjust it down a bit....I assume the Watts would remain constant and the potential amps would go up a bit, turning it down to say 68v.

For what it's worth, I bought the 60v/25A model and there is a pot next to the connectors for the wire that you can turn it up. I think I set it to 62v and left it there. It works great.
 
Hello Riden experts,

While looking for a good lab power supply, I first looked at Wanptek then I became interested in Riden thanks to you.

I just requested an offer on their Alibaba site for a complete assembled set RD6024 1440W see the product link below.

Am I right in thinking that this set is indeed equipped with a 1440W power supply (under 220V AC) ?

The RD6024 has knobs that come off the output terminals, so you can use ring connectors. I've got some nice flexible 10awg wire and ring terminals on both ends of my output cables.

What would be the diameter of the lug? M6? M8?

Can this power supply be used to do a charging capacity/energy test ? (maybe only from the Windows or Android app?)

Thanks for your help.

the 6024 is not designed to accept over 65 volts I believe... don't quote that as it came from previous research...ask the official vender manufacturer.....

How can a 1500 watt supply be incompatible, if it meets their spec of less than 70v input. I know a peak voltage spike will fry it from using a cheap power supply. Just use their little equation to limit max output. Of course they recommend their supply, also their 1200w will only give me 1000w using USA 110 voltage. Seems like a shame to have something rated at 1440W output and only feed it 1000W.

I ask myself the same question, in fact Riden sells this power supply on their Aliexpress store.

Would there be a problem using a 48V LFP battery as a power source to charge another 24V LFP battery with RD6024 ?
 
does anyone know the voltage of the fan on the back of the RD6024 (on the back of the pcb)
and is it load/ speed based ? or just when it gets to 8 amps? if just turns on 100%

i wish to tap of the fan supply lines and run a small external fan attached to my case to extract any heat. (i use a separate 1000W switch mode PS)

Thanks!
 
ok found some details.... just need to know the fan operating voltage?

Cooling fan start condition: Output current>8A or System temperature>45℃
Cooling fan shut down condition: Output current <7.9A and System temperature <45℃

ok found, when the fan comes on it run at 5v

i suppose i could have taken the 2 screws out of the fan and had a look at the fan sticker (probably would have shown me the 5volts rating...)

@Sleeper85 , It's been a while. How is the RD6024 working for you?
Click to expand...

I haven't used it much yet but it works great. Happy with my purchase. I need to build a new 24V battery pack and this will be a great help.

The 230V power cord as well as the DC charging cables are really high quality.
 
HRTKD said:
Most people ditch the cords that come with their power supply. Your cords are good enough to use as-is? Do they have alligator clips on the ends?

DC silicon cable is 13AWG gold plated connector with alligator clip.
AC cable is 3x 1.5mm²

I just want to come back and chime in that I have popped the fuses a few times, hooking 48v batteries up backwards, but the fuses are doing their jobs, and the power supply seems fine after I replace them. I ended up getting a 10 pack of the fuses and I've used 4 of them so far. [ Don't be like me, pay attention to your polarity ]
 
Can anyone tell me the difference between these two offerings? Besides the price.

The Amazon listing only sells the DC-DC converter faceplate.

The Alibaba listing sells the complete kit with a power supply (1500W PSU), factory-assembled and ready to use right out of the box (which is what I bought).

I'm using it more and more. It's a truly beautiful product, you won't be disappointed.

PS: Remember to specify that you want the 110V version of the PSU if you are in the USA.

That's what I was thinking, but the images for the Amazon listing does show all of those three components. The price is too good to be true.

I missed their last bullet point in the listing:
  • Integrated panel, you only need a shell and a AC-DC power source to form a powerful and adjustable power supply.
