Hi,
The wfco is known to have a problem going to boost mode.
This is what is balanced and best for twin twelve volt batteries. Unless you wire this way the battery bank combined with a rather poor converter will lead to early failure.
My 12 volt jars are over nine years old and starting to show their age.
As it often doesn't cost a dime more to do this, I think it is worth the trouble.
If you wish to understand the "why" surf here:
correctly interconnecting multiple twelve volt batteries
Others may say it doesn't matter--but unless there is a compelling reason to not optimize charging and discharging why not do it the best possible way?
Here is a video of 3 twelve volt batteries that have been wired in an unbalanced manner for 2 years. They have been equalized. The test shows how CCA has been adversely affected.
