Thanks for the warning. It was more of a "huh, I never thought of that" than a "hey, I'm going to try that". If I every actually build an e-bike I will most likely go with individual chargers for each battery. But I am curious about the 120V amperage when you plug in 6 individual chargers. But I suppose a 5A 12V charger should only be using about 1A of 120V, no? -- Timothy W.
