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...

BFL13,
If you attach a 1/4" hose to a 6" pipe in series, the flow will be limited to what the 1/4" line can carry.
In your example, the 100 amp charger would only be doing 55 amps, while the 55 amp would be running flat out.
PT can you explain how come the 100 would do that a bit? I can't compare it with solar strings and blocking diodes etc, got lost.

Then I should be able to swap the 55 for a 75 and now they each do 75. But that would have to be confirmed by VA count.
With the 100 only doing 75 it won't draw as much VA as when at 100, so the Honda 3000 should be able to run the 75 and the 100 in series, while it can't when they are in parallel doing 75 and 100.
It can only run the 55 and 100 in parallel. (The 100 is PF corrected but the 75 and 55 are not) The Honda cannot run the 75 and 55 in parallel--too much VA.
75 is way better than 55. 75 on 24 is like 150 on 12. So I could charge either way--55 and 100 in parallel on 12v or 75 and 100 on 24v and it would be the same recharge time. (155 vs 150)
