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

The battery is pretty good filter. On the more primitive motorcycles, not having a battery in the circuit will fry the electrics. (and more than likely a RoboRio) The better UPSs run on battery all the time with the charging circuits float charging the battery. Not to say that either of these is like the KOP chargers just that this problem has a solution.
