2 12 volt batteries wired parallel (+ to + and - to -) produce 12 volts, but twice the amps. To get 24 volts you wire them in series. I believe batteries wired in series can be charged individually with a 12V charger. If you want to charge both at the same time with the same charger, you'd need 24V.

I used the wrong term parallel. I was told with two batteries wired 24volts a two battery charger wired to each battery as normal
