The charger is made for up to about 16A. Some do not go much higher then 13A. But how much can it handle when the limit is been removed?
What does it take to rise the limit of the charger? Is there a hardware based limitation or a software based limitation?
What parts could be upgraded to make the charger more efficient or to handle more current?

When the current increases above 16A, the protection is activated. The current can only be increased by installing additional chargers.

And how can this AC input current protection be modified to other values? For example how can the protection get configured to be activated at 2A? How can the protection be configured to be activated at 22A?

Disassemble the device, determine the possibility of working under increased load. Find the current sensor and use the selection of resistances to deceive the charger.

Mine only draws 14.5A of input current, would be nice to get full 16A. Not much but means 10% increase in power. If just someone knows why maximum input current is different between chargers.
