Question Battery Tender

Can one use a 12 V battery tender on the 24 volt system?

Yep, do it all the time. And you do NOT need to disconnect the two batteries.

Good, so would I switch to the other battery every other day or will the tender charge both if they are connected?
Thanks Guys for the info, sucks when you can't start the darn thing when you need it in the cold winter months!
