I purchased a 5w battery charger for my truck as I dont drive it everyday/week.  Need to know how you are supposed to keep both battery's charged when parked.

Do you go from + on one to the - on the other?  Or do you just need to plug into 1 battery to keep both up?

TIA Hank

Hank... you really didn't provide much information. Do you have a series or parallel ? 24 or 12 volts? I suggest you visit these sites that offer a lot of details on battery charging systems that involve solar.
