The question Steve was addressing was originally mine. And yes, halving the charging time is the idea. Since the PFC-30 is limited to the max of either 30 amps on the input side or 30A on the output side, then with the strings in parallel, it can put at most 120V * 30A = 3600W into the pack, pulling 15A from the wall. But with the strings in series, it can put 240V * 30A - 7200W into the pack, drawing 30A from the wall.
