48v parallel chargers for Li
I own 2 of these 48v 15a Schauer chargers, originally for charging AGM. When I went to Li I needed them reconfigured, which the company was glad to do, to my specs at no charge to me. I just pay the freight to OH both ways.
My goal was twofold, have a spare since they aren't exactly an off-the-shelf item, and more importantly, parallel them for fast charging of my 48v 100ah pack. The company said they wouldn't work in parallel, but if they're both set to constant voltage it seemed to me they would. And they DO! I just hooked them up and voila, 30 amps at 50+ volts. I can now charge my pack from almost depleted to full in about 3 hours.
These are excellent products, work well, and are built like tanks. Oh.. they wouldn't work in parallel with the flooded/AGM configuration.
