Series 12v Chargers ?
Bestconverter ad says, "The PD9100L Series can be wired in parallel to charge at much higher current rates. They can also be wired in series/parallel to charge 36, 48, 60, 72 and higher voltage bat...

"You would in theory max out at 55 amps or so. The power involved would, of course, be the current multiplied by the total voltage, ignoring conversion losses. The 100A converter would not be operating at full power output."
If they were both 75 ampers at double the voltage then at the same full power, output would be 75 amps--37.5 amps each?
So now we have 100 and 55, but ISTR in series you get the lower amps if they are not the same. But wouldn't that be 55/2 = 27.5?
Meanwhile the 100 amper is still at 14.8v, making half the total voltage, but if it is not doing full power then what amps is it doing at how much of its full power?
With both at full power, my Honda 3000 can just manage to run them making 155 amps at "12v" If somehow doing "24v" the 100 is doing less than full power, does that mean it is easier on the Honda?
If so, maybe I could run my 75 amper and the 100 at 24v instead of the 55 and the 100, which the Honda can't do at 12v. If it can on 24v, then the lower amp charger (noow a 75) is higher amps so I would do better than with the 55?
I really am confused.
