If you have a battery charger with alligator clips, just connect to battery number one until charged, and then move to battery two until charged.
Just to 2nd the previous post - when you move the aligator clips - move both clips.
i.e. in both cases - have the + - clips hooked to the + - of battery 1 and for the 2nd battery have the + - battery charger clips to the + - of the battery.
The fact that the two batteries are connected together is irrelevant, as long as you move both clips.
Take care

Hey, good point REW. You do a good job of explaining things that we overlook as obvious that really are not. Would not want to disconnect the neg clip from battery A and attach to battery B with the +24 side of battery A still connected. Probably would not let any smoke out if done quickly, but would not take long before it would.

Agreed..., but do NOT have troll motor plugged in when doing this.
