I bought a Grin Satiator equivalent for $77 CAD

It's a Mean Well 240 Watt 4.45 amp 54 Volt LED driver with adjustable voltage and current output.

I need to set the levels manually.
They are not programmable.
(YAY !!)

It turns out that it only has a 3.34 amp output with a standard 120 VAC North American outlet.

I could wire it into my 240 VAC circuits for my stove or clothes dryer to get the full 4.45 amps, but I'm not going to bother.

I think I'm going to install one on my downtube in front of my new BBS02B mid-drive motor?

I'll use it as a bash gaurd to protect my motor.

A Mean Well LED driver is damn near bomb-proof.

It's only rated IP65, but I can seal the potentiometer ports to bring it up to IP67, they I can submerge my ebike in a meter of water for half an hour, while still charging the battery.

Just need a waterproof plug. 😁
