B by far. There was an article on this, but I can’t find it. In a 4 battery situation using the “A” method the farthest battery does very little, especially when charging. Jay

X2 on B. Saw a video from a guy that does a lot of solar installation and he said the same thing. Wired like A the first battery is the path of least resistance and it will carry most of the load while the last battery does little to carry the load. Sounds like I'm writing about some of the guys at work..
