For charging, I've been using 6 independent 6amp chargers. One for each battery. That keeps them balanced, and the gentle charging speed is nice for them too, although they can be charged at a 40 amp rate. yikes. And honestly, I try to not be like a race driver with them. Just drive from point A to point B. Well, every now and then I push it, just because it's fun.
