    Two 12volt batteries in series makes 24volt make sure you charge with 24volt charger across the outside terminals. Other wise disconnect and charge each separately on 12volt

    Yes, things like electric wheel chairs, or scooters use two 12 vt in a series, or as noted they operate off 24 vts. And require a 24 vt charger.

    The two batteries can be unplugged from each other and each charged on a 12 vt charger.
