  1. 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
  2. Two units can be placed in series for increased output voltage, with no need for center tap connection to the battery
  3. Non-isolated
  4. CAN compatibility:
    • Direct: plug-in compatible
    • VCU: the motor controller requires a Vehicle Control Unit to interface to other components on CAN bus
  5. HF = High Frequency switching (small transformer)
  6. Other voltages available by special order
