Re: possibility to use charger and battery at the same time

As Alan suggests, you probably want to use a charger that is designed to do what you want to. The charger you listed above is designed to charge batteries with not other load connected.

I don't know how helpful this is, but I have an old robot called Hero 2000 that has a docking station that it can drive into, and charge. I might have the schematics for it somewhere. It uses a battery similar to the battery you listed, although it has a bit more capacity (24 AH instead of 18 AH).
