Yes you can use the NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS10, on your vehicle with two batteries. Just attach the cable with eyelets as you would to charge or jump your batteries. Connect the positive lead to the positive post on one battery and connect the negative lead to the second battery negative battery cable connection at the vehicle frame or engine block. This charger maintainer has smart technology that will not allow it to overcharge or undercharge like common trickle chargers.

You can install this charger permanently on the truck. The charger is approved for indoor and outdoor use, and I would recommend mounting in an accessible location that is mostly protected from water and the elements. Do not mount the charger in a location where the airflow is restricted or the charger could get covered up.
