If batteries in parallel are at different temperatures, the hotter one
hogs the current. The effect is quite drastic; it only takes a small
temperature difference to lead to large current differences.

Given the low reliability of the charger and the serious consequences
when it doesn't turn off, I would recommend adding an independent timer
that will cut its power after X hours, no matter what. This can be as
simple as a mechanical timer of the type used for a bathroom fan, etc.
