Here’s a quick diagram of how the charging power line all works out (isn’t it beautiful)
The reason for the switch to a new charger is simply for the change into Anderson output 8AWG connector from previous phoenix(?) 14AWG contact connector which required paralleling for current load. We found at FSGP 2019 the cable insulation was melting because of improper paralleling, and was one of the reasons we were considering purchasing a new charger (the new models have the Anderson while the old have the phoenix(?) connectors).
