Re: [Electric Boats] Battery Balancing (again)

you don't need to shuffle.

a large enough charger to fill your battery bank in a reasonable time
period is usually best.

if you need a bank with multiple series strings in parallel, the cross
tying the pack will help keep each battery equal to the rest.
