[electricboats] Power in and out of battery bank

Hi All
Very fundamental beginner's question here.

I currently have a 160amp hour 48-volt closed cell battery bank running a thunderstruck 10KW motor and all works well. ( Looking forward to lithium in the future).

QUESTION: If I am charging the battery using solar panels - or in some cases a generator - can I run the motor at the same time?

There a several claims on Google search that you cannot charge and discharge a battery bank at the same time. 
If you are running solar panels ( which I am about to install) - I can't imagine that you switch them off each time you want to run the motor.
Can someone please clarify if I can charge and discharge simultaneously, or will this damage the batteries or create other issues?

The expert help from this group is very much appreciated.

Richard
