I am setting up a modest solar system and on a steep learning curve!

Is it safe to connect a battery charger to my batteries (200AH Calcium)
while they are connected to the regulator?
Regulator is a BP Solar model GCR1500M.

Running short of sunshine recently!!

Hopefully it has a blocking diode if it's a shunt regulator. I'd get
the details (or open it up and measure it) before I put two chargers
in parallel...
