Is 24v Charging the Same as 12v Charging?
With 24v charging on a 24v battery is everything the same as 12s except half the amps? Same charging profile, SOC vs time etc? Is 8.3 amps with 24v the same exactly as 16.6 amps on a 12v bank of the...

I think you confused yourself.
Batteries in series have half the capacity of batteries in parallel whether they are 6-volt or 12-volt.
I did fail to take into account you were re-configuring for use and charge so you were changing the batteries around
In that case, the major difference is less voltage drop in the wires carrying the charging current, Likely you will not notice it, but your calculations are accurate.
Reading more of the thread I figured that out
For charging
6+6+6+6=24
For use
6+6
6+6=12 volt at twice the amp hours
I had assumed
24 volt
v/s
12 volt with the same amp hours
Basically
6+6+6+6
v/s
6+6
