Paralleling Power Supply Units Made Easy ???

Once the power supply is out of the current limit range, the battery is nearing a voltage level that cannot take that much charge, the voltage will become constant and the current will vary.

If one power supply is set at a slightly higher voltage than the other, the one with the higher voltage setting will deliver more current while the supply with the lower voltage setting will deliver less or none.

So both units need to be set at the exact same voltage in order to share the load equally throughout, right?. So the V settings must be done before the charging starts, otherwise I would have to tweak them later.

With this being both cv and cc, I would think just setting the V would do the trick, as the load would pull all the amps the units can provide, up to their current limit, provided I don't lower that limit.

And I could lower (preset)the current limit, before charging, for Eq'ing at a regulated current of my choosing, i'e; 5% of the battery's 20H capacity rating. And the V's would begin to rise in order to maintain that preset A setting. (how am I doing???)
