For chargers that are already connected and synchronised over VE.Can, pairing them in a VE.Smart Network is not necessary. In case they __are__ paired, the pairing will be ignored. | For chargers that are already connected and synchronised over VE.Can, pairing them in a VE.Smart Network is not necessary.

Synchronising the chargers works in a master-slave manner. The chargers will elect a master among them and that master will be the one to dictate the charge algorithm. As the master cannot be determined by the user, it is important to make sure all chargers belonging to the same network have the **same battery settings**. To know more about the battery settings and some other information, | Synchronising the chargers works in a master-slave manner.

After being elected, the master will make sure all chargers are on the same charge state and with the same voltage setpoint. As mentioned before, battery charge current is not controlled by the master, but by each of the chargers individually. | After being elected, the master will make sure all chargers are on the same charge state and with the same voltage setpoint.

- | In the absence of battery current sensor, as the BMV, the chargers on the network will have their output current added to estimate a better battery charge current. This way, the tail current setting, that is intended to finish the charge cycle earlier, can be used more precisely. | + | |
