Can I run a 1 set of panels thru 2 charge controllers

[6269ed]

Hello
I have 2 sets of 6 volt lead acid batteries of different ages from my first venture into solar years ago. I have since upgraded to EG4 rack mount but I would like to use the lead acid batteries to run my DC fridge.
Can I take the 400 watt array and Y branch the output to 2 PWM charge controllers going to the 2 separate batteries?
It would be nice to alternate every other day between the 2 sets and have the battery used the day before getting topped off while charging the battery that would be running the fridge during the daytime , would this work the way that I'm thinking, splitting the 400 watts between the 2 charge controllers?
I don't want to run separate wiring from the panels to individual controllers if I don't have to. It would be much cleaner and easier to follow the sun as my panels are mounted on wheels.
What do you think? Is it worth trying?
Thanks Eddie

This can potentially parallel your batteries which may not be a good idea

Won't the individual solar charge controllers keep the batteries separated?

Not with pwm, mppt maybe

Use a battery switch to isolate or combine power from the controller. MPPT likes to stay connected to a battery so momentarily combine then switch to the opposite battery.

Yes, when you are making 240V split phase on the AC output.

Otherwise no.

This is what paralleling inverters is.
