12v from 24v Battery Bank ?
With two 12vs in series and the 24v charger on the other two posts, can you draw 12v at the same time as they are being charged at 24v, from the pos and neg of just one of the batts? If so, will th...

And equipment such as chargers, inverters, gens, refers etc may be designed such that a frame ground besides the DC is expected. And other equipment like HW and A/Cs may also use 12V.
What about the battery bank being neg grounded to the frame?
If you put the bank in series, that would have to go? Or could you leave it connected since there is no positive? It could stay anyway as long as that battery were the one being tapped for 12v I guess. Swapping the battery being tapped mid-day would mean shifting that neg ground too?
Probably the only practical solution is to use the grounded battery for 12V on a 24V system. And swap all battery connections so that the other battery becomes the grounded battery.
