[Elecraft] Powering KX3 from Bioenno charger with battery in between

[Julia Tuttle]

Hi,

I've got a Bioenno battery (it's so good!) and the stock 14.64 V (no-load,
by my cheap meter) 4 A (claimed) charger. I'm currently planning to just
leave things plugged in (mains to the charger to the battery to the radio),
and I want to make sure that's safe (won't start a fire and won't damage
the charger, battery, or radio).

Here's why I think it is:

Will I overload the charger? No, the KX3 draws well under 4 A. If the
battery is charging simultaneously, the constant-current circuitry will
adjust the voltage down until the two loads together are drawing less than
4 A, at the cost of lower charging speed, lower output power, and/or higher
PA heat dissipation.

Will I overcharge the battery? 14.64 V works out to 3.66 V per cell, which
looks like it's about 93% state of charge, which is fine for the battery
long-term.

Will I overvolt the radio? No, 14.64 V is under 15 V.

Am I missing anything here? Is this a safe way to leave things long-term?

Thanks,

Julie
