you would get faster charging by rewiring the batteries in parallel and operating the two converters in parallel
Most of this discussion is over my head, but in case it is useful I will mention that you probably don't have to rewire to do this.
I have 2x12v gel cells running the 24v motor on my ice machine, and I have hooked them up to 2x12v chargers, one charger on each battery, a few hundred times over the past 10 years, without disconnecting the batteries from each other. Batteries are still perky.
When using non-identical chargers, I do swap which charger goes on which battery.
Ok, back to regularly scheduled :B
That works of course. Good point. It does by-pass the Trimetric monitor though, if that matters.
