-So what happens when multiple chargers are running at the same time?  Nothing dramatic, as it turns out.((The only caveat, for advanced users, is if one of your controller uses end-amps to signal the end of Absorption, it may [[http://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/389634#Comment_389634|get confused and drop out early]].  Also see these potential [[electrical:12v:alternator#gotchas|isolator gotchas]].)) +So what happens when multiple chargers are running at the same time?  Nothing dramatic, as it turns out.((The only caveat, for advanced users, is if one of your controller uses end-amps to signal the end of Absorption, it may [[http://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/389634#Comment_389634|get confused and drop out early]].  Also see these potential [[electrical:12v:alternator#gotchas|isolator gotchas]].))  In general, **the charging source with the highest voltage [[electrical:solar:charge_controller_setpoints|setpoint]] will "win"**.

 Exception:  some commercial products integrate charging from multiple sources into a single unit so there is no "competition" See [[electrical:12v:b2b#examples_-_combo_with_solar_charge_controller|Combination DC-DC chargers]]. Exception:  some commercial products integrate charging from multiple sources into a single unit so there is no "competition" See [[electrical:12v:b2b#examples_-_combo_with_solar_charge_controller|Combination DC-DC chargers]].
