Stephen, Charging in half the time. When using public charging it will make a difference. Al

Faster charging?? Less stress on the traction pack?? I understand it from a versatility position ( I.e. 110/220/ j1772) but do get the reason for running then at the same time?? Still learning!!!

I do not know how to do this myself. I would be interested in knowing how.

I have used ng3, ng5, pfc-30, pfc-50, and more. As was already posted, when using charging in parallel, only one charger can be un-isolated. Since ng3 chargers are isolated, that does not pertain to you. Assuming you are familiar with adjusting Zivan ng3 chargers and have set yours correctly, your posted plan to let both do the bulk charging, where one ng3 stops at a lower set point voltage (~80%SOC?), and the other ng3 is set to continue to finish the charge. { brucedp .150m.com} - On Fri, Mar 22, 2013, at 05:08 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Good morning, I am going to run two Zivan NG3's in parallel.
