Default Re: Smart-fly PE Pro/ EQ10 and charging???

Okay, so I am totally familiar with the whole common ground thing, and can see how charging both batteries at the same time with a single multi-port charger can be an issue (if this is something that can cause damage to anything, it really should be mentioned in the instructions, though). But if you have a charger, any charger, and want to charge one battery at a time, can you do so - not knowing whether or not you have a ground-sensing charger, and without unplugging the other battery??
Kiwi, in your pic, you only have one battery connected to the power expander. Could you still be charging that battery if you had another battery plugged into the other Dean's connection on the power expander? This is what I want to know.
While I understand that it would be by no fault of Smart-fly, if "all the stars need to be aligned on a full moon" or whatever to be able to charge through the charge ports, and if
