When the MPPT controller is in MPPT mode, it is delivering maximum panel power to the batteries/load - the batteries/load are demanding more power than the panels can produce.
When the controller is in PWM mode, the panels have excess power that is not being utilized by the batteries/load.
Adding another device will reduce the power available to the batteries/load due to the devices energy conversion process - efficiency.
Let the MPPT controller do its thing and the batteries should be charged as fast and efficiently as possible...
