OK, split battery charging, but how about extender charging?

We all know that CT employs 'split battery pack charging' to accommodate 400V DC chargers.
What happens when a range extender is present? Does it get split as well and charge 4 batteries of different capacities in parallel or sequential?

So many HV contractors, so many relays....

Or does it permanently attach to the main battery as two 400V separate batteries?

The extender will be a split-battery, too. So like the same as the pack in the floor, but smaller.

It'll be interesting to see if they charge it serially or parallel; probably in parallel and then balance it separately.

Is that known as fact or assumption. I haven't seen any specs on it.
