Yep - I agree, but maybe worth considering. I changed my battery set up to balance the charging when I replaced the batteries a few years ago. The hope is that they will last longer and it would be kinder on them. The old batteries had loads taken from part way along the bank and were treated pretty bad and still lasted 8 years so maybe not worth the effort other than peace of mind. The water use now seems to be similar across the bank so who knows, maybe I will get 8 years and 3 days out of this set. (Probably more likely 7 years will tick over and I’ll change them as a matter of course and it would of been a waste of time)
