Remember all current really does is discharge our batteries
Let's put it another way... Let's say the circuit is using one amp. when the batteries are in series 1 amp will be flowing through BOTH batteries discharging BOTH of them at the rate of one amp.
but the batteries in parellel will only get 1/2 an amp each to recharge them since there is only 1 amp flowing through the circuit in total and that is split between the two charging batteries...
so when the batteries are powering the load, conventionally the batteries in series will discharge twice as fast as the charging batteries charge.
