running two chargers
Here is a technical question. Let's say you want to charge your house batteries on your RV quicker. If you have two 12 volt batteries in your battery bank would you charge that battery bank quicker ...

Here comes the Horsee...
- Some pairings of chargers work, others no
- Look for a clearly worded confirmation from a trusted source
- I coined a term "Saturated Voltage Charging" to describe a charging intensity that instantly or close-to-thereof reaches the charger voltage limit setpoint
- AGM battery charge time benefits most from saturated charging
- Not all batteries, even those of a dedicated purpose have similar charging acceptance
- This is a valid way to tell the difference between a bargain basement flooded golf car battery and a quality battery like a Trojan
- Heads up testing between group 31 AGM batteries, the first a new Lifeline, the second being a new Odyssey, revealed the Lifeline accepted 13+ amps more initially the remained above the curve all the way to the end of the charge cycle
- Total time difference to full charge @ 44-minutes
- Returning to charging
- A valid comparison is the number of minutes it takes a charger to start the reduction of amperage due to Voltage Absorbsion limit
- If it takes 60 minutes to reach this milepost, then total charge time versus initial saturated voltage acceptance will be excessive
- i.e. sixty minutes of extra generator run time
- Meanwell RSP power supplies in excess of 1000 watts have a paralleling Hirose connector port. Load sharing
- Megawatts cannot be paralleled unless an isolation rectifier pair is used. Bad news. The Beta unit shuts off completely.
