Don't forget, the charge rate is practically limited by the current limit of your own ebike charger.
But how would the resistor value alone progressively phase the charge rate according to the battery content
It doesn't have to. It just defines the MAXIMUM charge rate of the charging point.
These are straightforward, and handle the handshake, but all they provide is a mains outlet, not a direct charge to the battery. You still need your charger.I just found this adapter on Aliexpress:
AFAICT, it should let you power any device with a UK plug (BS1363) using a public Type 2 EV charger.

So, who's going to be the first to try it out?....
That is correct; they do not provide any DC rectification or voltage/current regulation. They only convert a Type-2 charging point to a UK plug socket (BS1363).
How much does loitering for 10 hours with a 2A charger cost? Should I book as a "Koenigsegg Regera"? I doubt "generic Amazon battery attached to a Bafang on a small Dahon folding bike" will be in the dropdown menu.
If contact details are not provided despite you signing in after registration, it's highly likely because they don't want you to bypass their commission by negotiating with and paying the mysterious yellow house icon owner/operators directly, like a lot of similar services selling other things via apps, such as taxi rides and takeaways.
Charging points are sparse on the apps mentioned. Clearly Komoot, Bikemap etc. aren't as lucrative a marketplace as outfits like Zapmap. Similar quandary for taxis and takeaways, who tend to follow the money.There's more information about pan European Ebike charging in this article by Powerunity:

One I saw today said 'maximum stay 1 hour', 'no return for 2 hours', £0.57/kWh. Chargeplace Scotland.
With my 2A charger, I won't get much mileage from a 1 hour charge. Do they tow your EV/microEV away after 2 hours? Then charge you a release fee plus £0.57 per kWh? They forbid use of chargepoint for more than an hour, but also forbid returning until after 2 hours? I may need a translator.
Fast charging those battery packs at 8A will make a big difference in temperature
Here's a solution for you. Stick one of these in your pannier. It only weighs about 10kg. It charges in 1 hr from empty, and it holds 1548wh when full, so you can do the 1hr charge, then charge your bike at a nice slow speed whenever and wherever you want.

A while since I looked in detail, but I think they will at least give 6.6kW AC output, about 30A, but remember that's at mains voltage AC, not 36V DC.With my 2A charger, I won't get much mileage from a 1 hour charge.

How far apart can these Chargepoints be in Scotland? 40 miles? Are we limited to 13A, if we use the plug adapter linked above? Even if I thought charging three of these cheapo 7.8Ah "LITHIUM-IRON" batteries with three 8A chargers was a sensible and safe activity to be engaged in (without an iron), I couldn't attempt to do so without using three chargepoints simultaneously for an hour, or three 1 hour chargepoint sessions at the same chargepoint:

Am I liable if one of these battery packs goes up in flames and destroys the Chargepoint? If not, I might give this ago. What puts me off is Scottish midges.

That adapter is rated "16A", so my 4 X 4A charger to 4 X 5Ah fast charge battery plan could be back on. But I'll probably buy a second 19.2Ah battery.I just found this adapter on Aliexpress:

Check out this modular battery:

My thoughts exactly. Found this system where you don't carry a battery or a charger, just a cable that tells the (free) charging point which of 21 brands of bike you've got. The cable costs 1/8 as much as a battery would, see pages 11 and 14.
I very much like the sound of "free". Is the cable for Bafang 2 pin, or more for the Canbus version? If two pin and 2A charging...
If you're on holiday, you can charge from a solar panel. No need for a charger, adapter or anything.
