The only good reason for the remote control link is so that the BCM can
control the PS output voltage for battery temp compensation. The BCM
also instructs the PS to shut down when you hit the off switch. That's
all there is to it.
I could never get the BCM48 to limit charging current. It's possible
that the one I have has some kind of issue, but Ken said he saw the same
thing on his.
The BCMU360 and an SDR-240-48 combo is cheaper and works fine for me.
But like I've said before, just be aware that the BCMU is only good for
~240 watts continuous. I have several running 200-220 watts of real load.
Yes, it would be nice if Mean Well made the UPS40 in 48v. I know the
charging current limiter on that thing actually works.

Is there a 48V model? I have several Traco BCM48's, but I don't know
if they will work with the Meanwell PSU since it lacks the 'control
link' or whatever Traco uses between the TSP and BCM.
