Hi BFL13,
It has to do with small differences in resistance that end up causing much larger imbalances. The terrible thing is that jars on the "ends" of chains never ever get fully charged. And you, of all folks, know exactly where lack of 100% charging leads.

None of them gets to 100% while camping, even on solar. I don't care if some get to 98% and others only to 96% that day. They all get to 100% individually for sure when I do their recovery sessions at home.
When just camping no solar and doing 50-90s the 90% itself is not very exact for the bank, and who cares if each battery is a little different in SOC when I stop the gen? What I do care about is getting some Peukert on the way back down to 50% for the extra AH.
What do I get as a benefit in return for losing that Peukert value?
Seems like being penny wise and pound foolish to me, but "everybody says" do it right or else bad things happen. I am asking what those bad things might be and just how bad they are, so I can do a risk assessment that applies to how I do things.
Thanks
