Hi fellow Texans! I’ve noticed on my trolling motor batteries, when I get off the lake one battery always seems to take longer to charge than the other. This has occurred even with different batteries. Should I shuffle them occasionally? Swap right and left banks? 24 volt system

I almost think trolling motor discharges battery on console side (right) first. Just wondering if switching battery positions will make a difference.

No, but check and clean your connections

if you have a manual reset breaker shut it off when charging, they will draw power when off, not much but still draw some.
also check water level if flooded wet cell.
