Hi Almot,
The Tristar units do not let out the magic blue smoke when they over load. They simply clip off the excess. (within reason, of course)

I was thinking that the problem is that they don't get charged correctly if they are not balanced at load time. One gets too much or the other gets too little.Is that wrong?

Ah but it does matter. The wiring needs to be done so the jars are balanced. See the link posted above and read it.N-Trouble wrote:
12V are wired in parallel so it doesnt really matter which battery you connect +/- to.
In the case of two 12V batteries under realistic loads (not 100A...) the resistance is going to be negligable in real world use to the point you would never perceive a difference in battery performance.

it is 45A Mppt and the run is under 3'. it said wire is rated 65 amps

One more question do you think 6awg is enough to go from controller to battery, I have a lot left.
What is post-controller max current and what is one-way cable length?
