I was really more worried about my batteries' top end. It used to charge to 13.2x resting, now the top is 13.04 or so. I was worried about overcharging, but they seem to be undercharged. If they get too far out of balance, I'll just do the timer thing.

Checked my batteries for reference for you. I have no idea how old they are. Ive been charging them about once a week while the car is not running. They range from 12.58 to 12.53 with lowest also being the last in the rear. Heres a photo of battery label
For the view of the contactor you asked about, I zoom in over these next three images.
The first shows the drivers side of the engine compartment from the front of the car.
The contactor is behind the controller next to the batteries.
This is a little closer look at the location. The contactor has two large red wires with black rubber end caps near each other. and smaller red wire coming from top of image is from charger.
Heres a look if I hold my phone in the engine compartment behind it and take a photo towards the front of the car. The aux tabs are towards the bottom of the contactor. Two from the controller are connected in this photo on the left from this angle. One Keyswitch wire is removed from right side and not visible in this photo.
When checking yours be very careful when near this, of course, it is where the total voltage from the batteries wired in series is sitting, waiting to go somewhere, in my case sitting indefinitely for now.
Thanks,
Mark
