The available amp hours from a battery is dependent on how fast you withdraw them. You will get more total amp hours from the three batteries if they are connected and sharing the load.
Right, but the question is does it matter if they share from different locations? Obviously there is the usual argument for balanced banking, but even with unbalanced, eventually the 'downstream' batteries catch up. Over time one gets worked harder etc etc.
What I am asking in particular is whether, when unbalanced and accepting that, does even matter if you draw and discharge from the same set of battery posts as long as you get 12v from wherever you hook up to with whichever thing you are connecting? Why do they all have to go on the same set of battery posts (or do they have to?)
