Sam, There are multiple ways to do this - depends on your interfaces and what role those computers play on the battery testers, and the software capabilities... there is a software called Nagios, using which you would write your own scripts and capture the data from each of these computers, and then collate them to represent it on a dashboard..
you may be able to take use of Copilot using which you can screen scrape the data from the computers and populate a table and then display them on screen...
these are not the only two ways as there are multiple ways of doing this.. to start with read these approaches and see if they can help you.. honestly if its just battery monitoring some bms support data via snmp..

Two computers on one monitor and view both of them at the same exact time

You seem to have already solved this, but how about two HDMI/USB video capture cards ? Then open two capture windows on the target machine/display ?

This way the look and feel can also be customized and you can scale up to even multiple different chargers.

Sam, This is possible via the hardware route where you take identical monitors and pry open the LCDs and remove the backlight and filter from one of the monitors leaving only the LCD layer and then disassemble the other monitor and insert the bare LCD from first monitor into second. You will need quite a bit of skillset to be able to do that.

To switch between screens instead of going up to the device but I also want another one for the other computer cart that I have as well and that one I do not need the remote for

I bought one of these split screen generator and it works perfectly for how I am wanting to use it when I get the computers setup with the battery testing machine I will take a picture of the monitor screen
The one I bought does not come with the remote but I going to buy another one and this time I will make sure that it comes with the remote

Back to the topic that was originally discussed
I did buy the split screen device to try it out I will post the results of testing it once I get and hook it up

The reason for running more than one computer is that yes you can have more than one battery testing machine on a single computer however its sometimes gives trouble going from one battery testing machine to the other battery testing machine and because you can not give the individual battery testing machines different names you sometimes you do not know which battery testing machine you have up on the screen but with a spit screen device you can assign a certain potion of the screen to a certain battery testing machine and then click the number a certain number and have this battery testing machine full screen then go back split screen
I want to use one 65” tv as just a monitoring device for viewing the screen because it much easier to view the graphs the bigger the screen that is the reason I asked in another post about making a smart tv a dumb tv and making not able to access the internet what so ever
