But also, the charger might not like it and shut down, thinking there
is a battery fault, or it may overheat when it finds it has to run at
full output for longer than it otherwise would if charging a battery.
Really probably the only people who can answer definitively are the
manufacture of the charger.
It's quite clear from discussions here on this list that some popular
chargers definitely will NOT like 'series hybrid' operation - either
over heating or thinking there is a battery fault.
In many 'UPS' situations it's normal for the charger to be charging
the batteries while the batteries are under load. (90%+ of the computer
UPS unit's out there for example). So any charger designed for such an
'industrial' environment will cope. But a charger designed for an EV
won't have that sort of need. Very few EVs can be charged and used at
the same time.
