If you plan on running in balance mode and the batteries are to far off on being charged it will blow the fuse on the solar converter. I would suggest you get a battery charger and charge up the weak battery all the way, then top off the other one with the charger then you should be all set. I run my converters in convert mode, and use a switch if I am not going to drive it for a while so it does not drain the batteries.

Cheers,
