Is it that simple?
Yes, it is!
The ADD ON and lead bricks are connected
and charged together. Look at this pic of expresso's setup.
The charger(CellPro PL8) is connected to the chair by a single cable. The ADD ON is is connected to the lead bricks in the chair. The PL8 is charging both the ADD ON and lead bricks simultaneously! Not only is it charging both, its charging them at a higher current than what your standard mobility charger, which means faster charging. On top of this, the Gel lead bricks are being charged at their proper charge voltage, helping ensure maximum service life. Standard mobility chargers cook Gel batteries with too high of a charge voltage, greatly reducing their usable lifespan.
So your $500 set of MK gels are going to last MUCH longer with the ADD ON, as the depth of discharges will be shallower, and because they will be getting charged at a voltage that maximizes their service life. The benefits of using an ADD ON this way are many.
