Expert Reply:
You can charge 2 batteries when they are connected in parallel using a battery charger such as # 329-GENIUS5. However, it will take longer to charge the batteries when they are connected compared to if you were to charge each one separately.
The best battery charger to use for charging batteries in parallel would be # 329-GENIUS10. It has a higher amperage output and will charge faster. I have included a link to our FAQ article on battery chargers for you.
