If the charge of a Lead Acid battery is determined by the cell voltage at
the end of charge then how can two batteries, one being charged directly and
one being charged through a diode, both reach the same level of charge? The
diode has a 0.6V nominal forward conduction loss so either one battery will
be under charged or one will be overcharged (or both).

Couldn't resist.
