It's a matter of diminishing returns. The batteries will be at the same environmental temperature, so the only thing you would get an indication of with a second thermocouple is if the batteries become so un-equal that you are heating one up and not the other.

You could as well ask for a thermocouple per cell. Which I know much more expensive batteries do have.

The GC2 batteries should be matched in size, production date, and date of installation, should be charged in series as a set so that they don't get unequal, and should get an equalization charge every month or so.
