I have used up to three controllers on the same bank. They were all the same and set a like.I have also used two different MPPT controllers and BFL13 has used PWM and MPPT together.
Now when I do two or three matching controllers, they are all set alike and have the same length run to the battery. That way they all see the same voltage. You will need both controllers looking to do the same thing and see the same thing.
With the distance and size of wire on the portables I think it may see a lower voltage than the closer controller will. That may take some effort to get perfect by adjusting the set points to switch to float at the same time.
I like having my portable to keep things charged up around the house.
