Riden 6024:
Riden 6024 video via Rd Tech shows the Riden buck converter efficiency at 96 percent so most of the inefficiency will be in the external AD to DC power supply connected to the Riden 6024.
I normally parallel 4 of the 280ah cells together to do the initial top balancing before assembling into the large 24 volt and 48 volt batteries..
I buy a 24 amp 68 vdc power supply today so I can charge 4 BMW battery in parallel . The Riden 6024 will automatically keep the battery charged all night and not have the inverter shut down because of low voltage . I think this is the easy way for me to run 24/7 in the winter and spring .
24 amp 68 vdc and also another Riden 6024 .

i can find a ac dc switching power supply 1500 watt 25 amps at 60 volt which is likely adequate via aliexpress....without killing off the Riden 6024.... right now it has a 1000watt one in it....
i see Riden indicated one brand lincomiah power supply or something damaged their Riden 6024 units
yes i seen that but was thinking a 1500 watt but it also seems to indicate to use tat 1000 watt power supply and limit to 950 watts so not to damage the riden 6024....
i have a 1000 watt in the newly assembled riden 6024 now.....probably safer to not go any higher in the ac dc power supply....
its up to a whopping minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit now,,,, was minus 13 earlier.....i think i feel the global warming already 🤣
i have a 1000 watt in the newly assembled riden 6024 now.....probably safer to not go any higher in the ac dc power supply..
60 vdc times 4 amps is 240 watts and 4 battery in parallel is less than 1000 watts . 1000 watts is the max at 120vac utility .
on aliexpress the riden 6024w was $103 with free shipping it the rd official store....
looks just like your page but a bit less for some reason,,,,probably more at final check out....
i think i will stick with the 1000 watt one i have assembleed.... i could probably turn up the voltage with the tiny potentiameter on its power supply,,,, right now waiting on the heavier 14 awg 15 amp power cord anyway....
always best to search a bit.... seems one can find the problems others have encountered....
I really like the Riden units....
60 vdc times 4 amps is 240 watts and 4 battery in parallel is less than 1000 watts . 1000 watts is the max at 120vac utility .
the Riden 6024 at 1000 watts output on a 56.8 volts for the LifePO4 battery would charge at >>>> 1000 Watts / 56.8 volts = 17.6 amps (if one could get the rated 1000 Watt maximum out of the external ac to dc power supply....)
when I top balance the cells in parallel >>>> say 4 of the 280Ah Eve cells then if I set the voltage at 3.60 volts it would charge all 4 (( in parallel )) at the same time, but max out at the 24 amps >>>> 3.60 volts x 24 amps= 86.4 watts....
for my purposes >>> I like its ability to charge a 24 or 48 volt pack after I do the initial top balance.....I let the Riden 6018 help out then the solar PV do the rest. (eventually the Riden 6024)...
in the battery charge mode the voltage is constant voltage and the amps decrease at the end when the battery reaches the preset voltage....
I really like this feature, but still tend to watch it more when I am doing this.....but obviously no one can stand there for hours and hours on end waiting to top balance a set of 4 280Ah LiFePO4 cells paralleled.....
scooped more snow today, slow but sure....so I was able to get out to the main road and buy some diesel for the Case 1840 Uniloader,,,,, snow drifts cause extra work on snow removal from the driveway,,,,((((( minus 11 Fahrenheit again tonight>>>> glad to be back inside....]))))
had to plug the diesel in and charge the battery (diesels hate being that cold) ( I must have some diesel blood in me as I hate being that cold also ) 😢🤣
cheers and have a great evening 😎
I really like the Riden units. I search for the supplier with the last one or 2 in stock and the price is low . I like its ability to charge a 24 or 48 volt pack but I use it to charge Li Ion 8vdc or 15vdc or 20vdc or 30vdc or 45vdc or 60vdc and it auto shut down and never overcharge .
56.8 volts times 17.6 amps = 999.68 watts.....
the Riden 6024 people seem to indicate it will do 24 amps or 60 volts but not both at the same time so there must be a software limit on them... not sure about that part or a firmware limit .... not sure but regardless >>> I still like the Riden 6024 and 6018 units... a lot 😎
it auto shut down and never overcharge .
Riden 6024 >>>yes>>>> it is a very handy & capable battery charger... the auto shut down is quite helpful for sure
not both at the same time so there must be a software limit on them. Yes that make it safe and not overcharge . I can set the voltage to max and the amp to max and the Riden will know the battery is a 15vdc Li Ion battery and will charge to 16 vdc and stop . I leave the setting to max volt and max amp and it will auto stop if the battery is 8vdc or 60vdc .
Riden 6024:
I just watched a video of "rd tech" that was 5months old and they have a 1200 watt psu they compare to their 800 watt psu. but that was not available when I bought the Riden 6024 and is now on their advertisements.... so hard to say,
but it did make me go look at the psu a second time i just installed in the Riden 6024; and the one I bought was a 1000 watt 68 volt for the Riden 6024...
model xj-s1000W-68V and it is labeled +68V dc and 17A....
when you go to the link in the video it shows the 1200 watt psu but notes that is at 220 volt and only 1000 watt at 110 volt....
hmmm hmmm >>> just confuse me (RD Tech) $58.74 plus 17.07 shipping available in March then some tax also so about 76 plus tax for the 1200 watt psu at their official site....

The 1200 watt power supply will do 1000 watt using 110 vac and do 1200 watt using 220 vac . The cheaper 1000 watt is only for 110vac . I brought the cheaper 1000 watt .
