Thanks for the responses. My motorhome is a 2018 Thor Miramar 35.3. I will have to look at the inverter/Charger and see what the model is. The old batteries were still working fine but once I saw the one battery swollen, I wanted to change both of them.

Depends. On an older Thor Class A we had, plugging in overrode/bypassed the battery disconnect and charged them anyway. Simple test to disconnect and plug it in to see if they are charging though. Is your fridge multi fuel( AC/12V/LP) ?
Our Older gasser had issues though with the disconnect. In storage, unplugged even with the disconnect there was still a phantom draw somehere that drained them. Sold it before I figured it out.
