I think it comes down to what the charger see's the voltage of the individual cells while they are in series with a load applied. I haven't actually tried this myself. I'm looking for an answer to this question just like the original poster.
Post #2 doesn't definitively answer anything. Saying something could work but wouldn't be reliable without any explanation or evidence to support it is merely conjecture, not an answer.
The question has nothing to do with a specific charger. It's a general question about charging batteries individually while they are wired in series. I'm not sure how telling someone to read a manual or go to a support page is helpful at all.
Did you ever find an answer to your original question about using a 4x12V charger for charging 4 x 12V batteries in series? I'm looking to do something similar so I can still use my existing 12V charger.
OMG! Could someone just answer the poster's question? The root of the question is asking if you can charge 12V batteries individually while they are in series. Obviously you shouldn't just charge one because that will cause them to become out of balance and lessen their lifespan. But can you...
Ugh! Not a single person actually answered your question, which is the same question I have. "Can you use a 12v battery charger designed for multiple 12V batteries to charge individual 12V batteries while they are in series"? Can someone please answer that question? His question wasn't...
I am looking at a few hybrid inverters from MPP and Growatt and I'm curious if they can pull the excess load from the grid when the solar is not sufficient for a load. I.E. if I am making 600w but my load is 1000w will the excess be pulled from the grid or do they just switch to grid power...
I found this forum after watching many of Will's youtube videos. Awesome videos! I recently upgraded the solar panels on my boat from 4x100w to 3 strings of 4x100w panels (1200w total) with my existing 30amp EPEVER MPPT and 1000w Sungrid grid tie inverter with a limiter for when I'm on...
