Well if there is it’s been faulty from new ! Sorry to me it comes down to simple ohms law. You connect two sources in parallel as happens when the powered charger is on and connected to the battery a proportion of the load current must come from both sources. The amount obviously depends on the relative resistance of the supply leads but if my charger output fuse is 15A and the total load is well over 100A at initial start it is easy to see how it pops it’s clogs!I can only suggest that there's something wrong with your charger. There should be no need ever to disconnect shorepower before starting the engine.
