[QUOTE="silentbravo, post: 491259, member: 29669"] Each battery has different charging needs. Charging 2 in parallel would probably work but I haven't researched it. The problem with parallel batteries is that they both need to be the same model of battery and ideally purchased at the same time so they are both in the same condition. The weaker of 2 batteries in parallel will be constantly drawing down the stronger battery to equalize, so you want to get them matched together as closely as possible. Now you could put a simple disconnect between the parallel batteries, and even add 2 separate pigtails for each battery and just swap the charge lead between the 2, but that won't help for a maintenance/float on both.
