Only in one review: Current 35 A (S-500-14.2); Under load 14.2 V (Meanwell LRS-200-12 with adapter board); Temperature rise 80 °C (S-500-14.2); Price 33 $ (S-500-14.2).

S-500-14.2: The charger works normally and passed the test, but its fan is noisy and it gets noticeably hot.

Meanwell LRS-200-12 with adapter board: The modified charger ends charging more correctly by lowering the voltage and effectively stopping the charge.
