Hi everyone,
Does anyone know whether or not it's possible to charge a single lithium (LiFePo4 in my case) with two parallel chargers?
The reason I'd like to do this, is that for my application (an electric boat) sometimes I'm constrained by a 6A circuit breaker, while other times I could go up to 16A (depending on where I charge).
So I figured maybe I can put two (in my case 10A 87.6V) chargers in parallel, and just turn on one when I'm on a 6A outlet, and two on a 16A outlet. An additional advantage would be redundancy (one charger fails, I'm not stranded).
I tried searching on this forum/google but couldn't find a satisfactory answer, so it would be great if one of you guys could help me.
Maybe added diodes will help?
