Don I don’t recommend series starts at any time anymore especially with weak batteries. If it’s super cold maybe, or on a mountain top in the summer with “cold” oil?
Chargers are a good. Use TQ limiter to trim fuel if necessary. If it won’t start in parallel, something is wrong.
If the batteries recover real quick they are either new or, more likely, old and won’t take a charge like they used to.
If they are over 2 years old they should probably be replaced anyway. I know someone will say they get 8 years out of batteries. Same guys call when stuck on mountaintop with a hot start and/or with 46 electrical gremlins that they can’t figure out. Just my observation.
