I had a set of batteries wired in parallel for several years. It was a 24 volt system and was disconnected completely when not in use. I used a trimetric system to monitor the state of charge on them. When I could not get the system to charge properly I labeled the batteries and disassembled the system and checked each battery individually. The first two batteries closest to the the charging system and use were flat and would not charge. The two batteries that would be as I looked at it "in the back" where just fine. I rechecked the wiring. I used four "0" cables of equal length to connect all the batteries and followed what was supposed to be (after a great deal of research) the proper method for wiring batteries in parallel. The batteries that died were AGM 8D batteries that were kind of pricey and they died at about the same time and my lead acid start batteries wired in series. I have since gone to having my batteries always in series and avoided wiring them in parallel.
