Bulk charging is no problem: most batteries will accept very high rates of charge up to about 80% fully charged, then they start gassing.

They will all be supplying slightly different voltages (albeit above the battery voltage for a charge) but does it all average out on the battery end of things or am I missing a detail here? If there is a previous post/string on the subject, I'd appreciate the reference, thanks.
