Now, the XPS has switching technology, so with my 5/5 set up, once the cranking batt was fully charge, the 5 amps going to that lead switched over to the other bank so after an hour or so, it pushed 10 amps to the trolling batts.

The only way you can charge both batteries wired in series and with one set of leads is with a 24V charger.
