Re: (ET) charger question

No, the amps flow thru all the batteries so each battery is getting 25A. 
The batteries are loads to the charger and they are in series. Series 
connected loads divide the available volts among them, but the amps is 
teh same thru all. Another way to think of it is in terms of actual 
power delivered to the battery stack. The 36V/25A charger is putting out 
36*25 = 900 Watts - the 6 6V/4A chargers put out 6*6*4 = 144 Watts.
