    if you have 2 12 volt batteries wired in series then you can charge each battery individually 12 volt. Other than that you need 24 volt.

    You would have to safely isolate both batteries so you charge them individually as 12 volts batteries and still pull the amps needed for a 24 volt start. You can do this with isolation diode blocks that can be bought from RV stores. It gets real complicated real fast and it has to be a forgiving system. We nearly set the car on fire so we elected to buy a 24 volt charger and be safe.
