my original charging port wire got blown up from shorting a multimeter. I plan on using an xt60 splitter to connect the battery pack
to the controller and the other split to the charging port. is this safe? will the charger somehow blow up the controller? are they even directly connected?
 
I agree with mike, more details please.
a crude Paint drawing would help a lot too if you prefer that method

We would need more information on what you're using. What charge controller and charger? I assume one is solar and one is an AC charger? You an connect multiple chargers to a battery, but you have to ensure they're actual chargers, and not just a power supply or something like that.

have a dual motor 52v scooter. the battery pack has 4 connections. 2 just wires and 2 xt60 connected to the controllers. I accidently touch the prongs on the multimeter while checking the charging port and it blew the gx16 port up. i ordered a new port and installed it. but since then it will not charge to 58.8v but a consistent 53.7. so i thought maybe it was the new port. i ordered a few more same thing, then i used the orginal wires and soldered them to a new port. still same thing. then one snowy day i got the scooter all wet and salted. for that day it charged to 58.8v but not since then. wtf!!! maybe its coincidentally the charger? I tried the xt60 port for the controllers and it charges to 58.8v but not the others. i plan on using a xt60 splitter to connect the battery to one controller and also the charging port. will that be safe for the controller? male connected to battery 2 females outbound. thoughts? or would i be better off using the splitter to connect both controllers to 1 xt60 port from the battery and connecting the charger to the free standing one? thanks
 
ports and charging port look like this

I'm still confused as to what you are trying to do 🤔
 
im trying to plug the single side of the splitter to battery and one side to controller and the last side to charger. im worried that the charger would damage the controller because they are connected this way.

Black wire goes to Black, Red wire goes to Red. There is no mix up here. Black is Negative, Red is Positive. Unless you rewire the splitter and cross the connections, it will work. As long as the plug fits both devices. The XT connector only connects one way, so they are all compatible with each other.
