Optimal Charging for Multiple Batteries in a Bank

When connecting multiple batteries in parallel to create a larger battery bank, it turns out that "not all batteries are (necessarily) treated equal." Depending on your connection method, some batteries can be charged harder, worked harder, and discharged faster than others. Harder working batteries will typically fail

Victron super cycle batteries appear to be the best bang for the buck and a good middle ground between lithium and lead acid/agm. They are agm batteries, but they can be discharged 80% safely, they charge faster, they are more energy dense compared to regular agm/lead acid. For a lead acid battery you can''t discharge more than 50%.
