Thanks for the details, I'm not sure this equalization focused approach is worth scaling up to say the levels of that Zivan NG3 (.8kW output), which can charge 3.5-4.5kWh (4x parallel packs) in few hours time - as low as 7hrs (T1_5h-T2&T3_onlyfor2h), on the condition of all the safety precautions incl. passive and active cooling system. For Prius, I see the advantage of these MeanWell style cost effective grid charger balancers more in the role of service/maintanance the longevity of batt. pack than for regular PHEV charging application. Because ~100W output doesn't make it practical with these very long charge hours even at shallow %discharge driving cycle. Perhaps at least 4x scaled up version ~400W (roughly 2x slower than Zivan NG3) might be considered as barely practical solution - real charger. Alternatively, set it up as 4x standalone 350mA grid chargers for each OEM sub-pack, but that's 4x cost/work-wirelogy-complexity/space used/failure rate or perhaps not, as some features like the timer could be shared. Altough much safer, this individual type of charging will also to a degree defeat the major advantage of parallel charging function as a balancer.. So, perhaps the Zivan NG3 "rocks" afterall, lol..
