Both feeds go to one battery, with jumpers connecting the batteries in parallel.
Fix that so it balanced. It matters.

Theoretically it may make a tiny difference but I believe with #00 cables and good connections the effect is utterly negligible.
What I mean is, I did read the link, and I think I follow its logic. His example was drawing 100 amps which I never do. And I do have good #00 cables and good connetions. At one time I was thinking of adding an inverter to run a microwave and other high-power things but I talked myself out of that. I have a small inverter for running my TV and electronics chargers. The highest draw I have ever seen was when running the furnace and the inverter and that was around 25 amps. So 1/4 the effect as the example.
If I were doing it all over I would do a balanced setup as recommended but I just want to replace my batteries and go camping - not work on major engineering projects!
