The power supply can be used to charge lead-acid or maintenance free batteries. (Two 12V batteries in series) 
Instructions for charging batteries: 
a) 
Set output voltage (measured at no load and at the battery end of the cable) very precisely to the end-of-charge 
voltage.

b) 
Use a 30A or 32A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the power supply and the battery. 
c) 
Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery. 
d) 
Use only matched batteries when putting 12V types in series. 
e) 
The return current to the power supply (battery discharge current) is typ. 9mA when the power supply is switched 
off (except in case a blocking diode is utilized).

REAKERS
 
Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s or UL1077 circuit breakers) are commonly used for AC-supply systems and 
may also be used on 24V branches. 
MCB’s are designed to protect wires and circuits. If the ampere value and the characteristics of the MCB are adapted to 
the wire size that is used, the wiring is considered as thermally safe regardless of whether the MCB opens or not. 
To avoid voltage dips and under-voltage situations in adjacent 24V branches which are supplied by the same source, a 
fast (magnetic) tripping of the MCB is desired. A quick shutdown within 10ms is necessary corresponding roughly to 
the ride-through time of PLC's. This requires power supplies with high current reserves and large output capacitors. 
Furthermore, the impedance of the faulty branch must be sufficiently small in order for the current to actually flow. 
The best current reserve in the power supply does not help if Ohm’s law does not permit current flow. The following 
table has typical test results showing which B- and C-Characteristic MCBs magnetically trip depending on the wire cross 
section and wire length.

Don’t forget to consider twice the distance to the load (or cable length) when calculating the total wire length (+ and – wire).
