Ya'll lost me there, but I would just wonder if there were two charging units and both are feeding current to a pair of connected battery banks, would not these chargers read the current from the other charger as 'full' and start cutting back before the battery bank(s) were fully charged? Seems I had that problem as a kid trying to charge a battery in a hurry using two separate chargers
Both (or all 18 :) ) will just drop out as the voltage meets or exceeds the set points.
Think if you had 18 chargers rated one amp each and voltages set at 12.5 to 14.1 at 0.1 volt intervals. You get 18 amps until battery voltage hits 12.5 and then 1 amp drops out. Then at each .1v another charger drops out until the last charger holds the battery at 14.1 volts. The other chargers just drop out of the process. And no harm to any as all these voltages are in spec.
