Thanks for the info... I have to read over that again, not sure where im getting confused. I have mine wired 8 batteries series 2 then paralleled 4 sets.

The video shows 3 banks of 36 volts.
Just pay attention to how the input and the output connections are done.
A crisscross pattern is used to insure that your batteries charge and
discharge evenly. Failure to follow this important step will cause some
of your batteries to die prematurely.

My mistake the video does show 3 banks of 24 volts.

The key is the resistance of the jumpers between banks and the
resulting voltage drops.
By connecting the load or charger to the opposite terminals, the
voltage drops are reversed thus balancing the banks.
