Alright guys, I know this info is out there, but I'm not understanding exactly what I need to make this work.


Goal:
Easily charge my 16s 15ah Lipo pack with two hlg meanwells in series through a Cycle Analyst to show charge details. It would be nice to hop off the bike and just plug a cable into an outlet and charge.

Questions:
1-I'm using a Greentime controller. To utilize the CAV3 and all of its controlability, can I use this controller?
2-How do I wire the two hlg meanwells together in series (safely) with diodes and whatever else is necessary to charge through the CA?

I've seen troys diagram:


I guess I don't quite understand which diodes are being used and how and what exactly they are protecting.

3-How do I make it easy and fast to plug the meanwells into a socket to start charging as easily and quickly as possible (without having to unplug pack from controller and into charger)?

If i need to clarify anything please let me know. Currently I am breaking the pack down to an 8s 30ah pack and charging through one meanwell and a watt meter and I'd like to get away from this and get the CAV3

Thanks for any and all help!!!
 
Great Info!

I guess I just need to do some research on the CAV3 and figure out how to wire that up.

As far as the meanwells in series, i know ive seen a few people talk about installing diodes, but i've also read that these HLG models are already isolated and really dont require any special wiring to put them in series.
