Parallel Charging Equalization Current

How much current will actually flow when a battery is plugged in parallel with the maximum allowable voltage difference? Let's find out!

Parallel charging can be risky if you don't know what you're doing. Plugging in batteries with excessive voltage difference makes excess current flow between them, possibly damaging them or even starting a fire. In this video, I measure how much current flows when the maximum safe voltage difference is applied.
