Can anyone with an electronics background explain the logic behind a sequential charger? Not how it works, but why it's designed that way.
It doesn't benefit the user, since it takes longer to charge multiple batteries. And as I pointed out in another thread, if you buy two single chargers and plug them into the same outlet, they'll charge two batteries simultaneously. Why can't Autel just take those same components that make up two chargers and combine them into one unit? And then a third and a fourth? Then you'd have a single charger than charged multiple batteries at the same time. It almost seems like they need to add extra engineering to have it be smart enough to charge one battery, then move onto the next, and the next.
And on a related note, my Autel Evo manual says this:
"Overcharging may shorten battery life, so don’t leave the battery unattended during charging, and remove it after it’s fully charged"
Does that mean if you have a multi-charger, you have to take each battery out after it's done charging? Or is the multi-charger smart enough to stop charging the battery after it's done charging? If so, then why can't they make their single charger smart enough to do that? Why did they design it so it could potentially shorten my battery's life? It really is annoying that I can't start charging a battery before going to bed or going out.
