If both batteries are in good health, of course you can charge two in series exactly the same as if they were a single 12v. I have a 48v bank made up of 8 6v batteries in series, and my primary charger charges the bank as 4 separate 12v batteries. I have another charger that charges the whole bank as a single 48v battery. I have another one that I can charge an individual 6v battery. I have a fully manual charging system that I can use to provide an equalizing charge of 62v to the entire bank, or equalize single batteries separately, or feed the system underway from a 2kw portable generator on deck. FLA batteries are very flexible that way. Just make sure your connections are clean and tight, and all wires are of sufficient size. I use 2/0 welding cable for almost all wiring between batts, batts and chargers, or batts and propulsion system. No, it doesn't "need" to be that big, but bigger is better for limiting voltage drop through copper losses.

I have some T105 batteries (6V, 230AH) I need to charge. I have a Shcumacher SC-8020 charger that I have trusted and used in the past.
Is it OK for me to join two T105's in series and charge them as one 12v battery using a standard charger?
Would it be OK for me to take two banks of series connected T105's and connect the banks in parallel to get 12V and use my standard charger?
Is charging banks of T105's any different than charging a "normal" battery?
