- Multiple units can be paralleled, for higher power
- "✓" means that chargers can be connected in parallel, though will not work in synch with each other past the CC phase
- "x ea ➜ y kW" means that chargers work in consort through a communication link, to share the current and operate in unison
- "✕" means that chargers may not be paralleled. either because they are not isolated, or because their servo loops can become unstable if the battery pack impedance is not low enough
- Two units can be placed in series for increased output voltage, with no need for center tap connection to the battery
- Non-isolated
- CAN compatibility:
- Direct: plug-in compatible
- VCU: the motor controller requires a Vehicle Control Unit to interface to other components on CAN bus
- HF = High Frequency switching (small transformer)
Also:
Li-Ion BMS
