Can you parallel Orion Smart 12/24-15 DC-DC Charger in charge mode?

Hi,

I'm about to purchase 2 off 12-24V Smart DC-DC charger. The dealer I'm buying from advises they can only be connected in parallel for power supply mode, not as a charger. I want to use them to charge a lithium battery bank from the Engine battery/alternator on a Euro 6 engine. doubling up as I'd like more than 15amp of charge current.

Thanks

I don't see why not - As long as they both have the same set points. If one goes to float early, the other charger should follow shortly. At this stage of charging, the charge will be in CV mode, so less than the bulk current.
