My understanding is that any small differences with internal resistance, can lead to some batteries not been fully charged properly, while others are been over charged. Over time leading to the death of the battery bank. Obviously if they are charged separately this is avoided.

Can you point me towards some decent battery equalisers? Most I see are for lithium these days. And those that do list lead acid seem to list every type of battery, and have very little if any details etc.
