If you are going to strap 2ea 12V jars in parallel, expect trouble. Even if the batteries came off the final line sequentially, they still will not necessarily play nicely in parallel. Lead acid batteries just don't do that well..................

Really? :R

I got 9 years use from my two 12v lead acid batteries connected in parallel before I traded for a new TT. That's more than good enough for me. :)

Not to mention every diesel truck and millions of floor scrubbers.
The only possible problem is very long term storage where they tend to discharge each other.
Otherwise it just isn't a big deal.
