I have had several controller failures which leave me scrambling for enough power so a pair of controllers seemed to be a perfect backup, change a few breakers and you still have 60-70 % percent power available with one kid down for service and the other runner slightly harder to keep up. I have been using multiple controllers on a common battery for several years now but they were not designed to work togather and they do not share the load. My Tracer controllers only contribute at bulk charge due to the fact that they are fixed charge profile and all really good controllers can be adjusted for the battery sets that they service. When my Classic or kids switch into adsorb the Tracers see this as a fully charged battery and shut off. One more kid and I will get rid of the Tracers.
