Iam considering to buy this kind of charger: Alliexpress 48V 20A LiFePO4 Battery Charger 1200W
I want to connect this charger to my existing offgrid installation with Victron MPPT 150/100 and 16s 305Ah LiFePO4 batteries.

I would like to be able to charge batteries from MPPT and at the same time from this 230V charger, because i want to utilize overproduction from my another ongrid installation.
I am not able to control voltage on this 230V charger, but i am able to use this 230V charger only on bulk MPPT or even below some battery voltage threshold (eg below 55.2V)

I want to ask if it is a good idea to have connected two chargers (MPPT+230V) in parallel?
Will it work? What problems might there be?

The 58.40 charging voltage seems high. I assume this would be connected direct to the battery and there would be some other control to start and stop the charger when needed. Otherwise multiple charging sources are generally not an issue for the system.
