When not in use, the switch is off. Am I correct in thinking that the batteries are not considered to be connected in series at that time?
A little difficult to answer without a schematic, but, unless your switch is on the battery interconnect cable, no, they are still connected in series. Whether they're powering anything is irrelevant. Does that answer?
I hesitate to try to do a schematic in ASCII.
There is a cable connecting A- to B+.
And B- goes to the motor.
But the cable from A+ has a solenoid in it, so it goes nowhere when the solenoid is off.
Does this count as series?
And what exactly is the bad thing that happens if I charge them seperatly?
Or simultaneously, on two 12v charger outputs?
