In my case its a 12v trolling motor. I understand the 2 battery parallel charging concept but how do you connect your device to this setup so it draws on both battery’s at the time?

If you have 2 x 12 v batteries conencted in series to make 24v system you must disconect them from each other then you can use the 12v charger on each individual battery, otherwise you will need a 24v charger.

As long as you connect both batteries in "parallel" this will keep them at 12v pos to pos and neg to neg(make sure not to connect them in series) Both batteries must also be the same size.

can altenator or does this put pressure on the altenator

One for the starter and accessories, one for an engine-mounted electric motor (these first two are located together in the stern), and two that are use to make a 24V system for my bow-mounted trolling motor (these two are located together in the bow). These are wired independently to the unit with wires directly from each battery. It is only a 17 foot boat, so the battery pairs are not too far away from each other. I just purchased a 3-bank on-board charger. I would like to somehow use it to charge all 4 batteries. Can this be done? If so, how? I do not use the bow trolling motor batteries much, so they should not need too much charging at any time. I'm wondering if I can charge these two at the same time even though they are connected to the same end device? Thanks. I have 4 x 12V batteries for my boat.

Deep cycle batteies require an end float charge or they will rarely reach 100%, these chargers will let you know when optimum capacity is achieved. you can charge batteies in banks fine as long as your chager is adequate, best is a smart charger,a three of five stage.

Will it know when to stop? It shows 90% charged. I guess I have to unplug each one to test the voltage? will my charger stop charging if I have 3 deep sicled batterys hooked together?
