What do you use to charge your batteries? genset, solar pannels?

Usually most are matched or within .1 volts of each other. It's interesting to see that one never knows which battery will finish charging first. It might be a few seconds or minutes of each other. I so far can not detect any one being a consistent laggard in charging after eight years of service using the Dual Pro.

Thanks 'Capt. Mike'

I have wondered about the Dual Pro essentially four chargers each wired to a battery in a series stack.  I have drawn the circuit a couple of times trying to convince myself that the currents really balance.  How well do the batteries end up with the same potential on each after charging?
