Paralleling Power Supply Units Made Easy ???
I am considering paralleling a couple of 20a variable adjustable psu's for 40a charging. According to what I have read on the world wide inter-web, it can be done quite easily, provided the following ...

You talk about constant current settings, Dang few of the devices under discussion have that ability.. Some may have current limiting but like my Progressive Dyanmics 9180, that's 80 amps.
I have designed and built a constant current battery charger, it is for AA cells (NI-CAD) and outputs a specific current.. You can charge 1 battery, 10 (What it is designed for) or up to about 15 I think, The current will vary only a couple of mA over the range of batteries it can charge, max output is in the 24 volt range. But it is constant current.
Next to it is a 13.6 volt by 3 amp and a 5 volt by one amp (all in the same box) it was originally used to power a radio (Save for the 5 volt which I stuck in there cause... Well,,, I needed a 5 volt supply)
