Hi
Thanks for the tips,

I was worried about storing in the basement because of the fumes that come
from them. I figured when charging and their bubbling that adds a lot of
chemical fumes into the home. Is that a concern?

Going to unplug that system I have in the garage now, I hope I haven't done
any damage and was wondering why each battery came to green light
individually but when put in parellel it hasn't came to greenlight for over
a week. I hope I haven't destroyed them. And even though those chaps at
Canadian Tire recommend this, I understand they haven't an engineering
degree in marine batteries, but thankful I get opinions from this group,
thanks for the tips,

FWIW, I store batteries in my basement over the winter. About every two
weeks I place a small "half-way intelligent" charger on each, in turn, and
bring each up to "full". I think your parallel charging is not a good
idea and may have partly destroyed one of the batteries. Diode protection
(for charging in parallel) might work, but it will probably change the
voltages involved and may confuse an intelligent charger. I suggest
individual charging.
