I design large battery banks using 200AH, 12V batteries, up to 48VDC and up to 96kWh (40 batteries). You need a good equalizing system and to have it run weekly. Anything much bigger, these days, and you are better off with the extremely large single cell units (1000-2600 AH, 2V cells), strung in series.
A couple of 12V-200AH batteries, if they are the same age, charge and the charging connection is equal, shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, Randy would be better off running two identical deep cycle? Like Optima yellow tops?
