Unfortunately I think you have purchased a pulser that will only do one battery at a time. I suspect that multiple batteries would overload the unit. I do not know how fast the RediPulse unit recovers a battery. Generally there are two forms of recovery, usable and total. For example, lets say you have a 300CCA battery that powers a starter that draws 100A. The day finally comes when the battery will only deliver 95A and you get the sluggish starting performance. After a pulser is attached within a day or so it will recover the battery into a usable range (greater than 100A). Total recovery may take a month or so. Each discharge/charge cycle will add some sulfate to the plates. Batteries that have only been pulsed to the point of recovery into the usable range will soon be in trouble again. The link below has many homemade pulser circuit schematics that will do multiple starter batteries or deep discharge batteries simultaneously, If you do not know how to solder or do not have a grounded tip soldering iron, assembled kits are available. Good luck,
Don
