Re: Dual battery charging
As your batteries will never be totally flat (0 volts) this will be insignificant. Now that I think about it... 14.8 volts seems high for only a 4A charge. Most vehicles only charge at around 13.8 volts.
I'm guessing you want to leave the chargers on in 'float' mode so your batteries are always topped-up. You will have no troubles.
