Is it safe to charge two 48V 15Ahr Ping packs which were...
a.) Balanced/Fully Charged (separately, two chargers)...then...
b.) Discharged simultaneously through an ideal diode, resulting in very nearly same level of discharge on the two packs...then
c.) Connected to one charger, through a "Y" harness, no diode. IS THIS SAFE?
As the first pack reaches HVC, then the second will keep charging, but the charger will still be delivering voltage to the pack which would normally (at HVC) have the charger shut off...for a while, then the second pack would reach HVC. THEN the charger is shut off...
I suppose the process might hold both packs at the same voltage as they charge so that they both go "16 LED on" HVC on both BMSes at very nearly the same time?
The reason I ask, is that I'd like to just take one charger with me on a trip...even if I have to wait a bit longer to get to full charge state on both packs...
