Hi I found this site to be very informative enjoy.

"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it"

That site is an interesting read. It goes through battery balancing when using them in parallel and how to do it practically.

 I found that an interesting read, but how often are you connecting batteries in parallel like that? For me it would have to be that each battery represents a 24 volt bank of four six volt batteries hooked up in series, or the equivalent.

This site shows 12V 24V & 48V series and series/parallel

"However there really is no excuse whatsoever (apart from, perhaps, incompetence or laziness) for using the first example given at the top of this page" I guess he's talking about me. Never gave this that much thought. Who'd a thunk. kenny

seemed like a good idea at the time
