I was simply referring to the time necessary to actually charge the string of batteries.. in your case, it doesn't sound like that is an issue (and it's not in my environment most of the time either). I'm not sure if there are other problems with using a large string like that on the BCM - but maybe someone more knowledgeable like George or Ken can chime in?
