Dick,
If you use a 12V charger across one battery at a time there is no need to disconnect the series
connection. The charger will only "see" the battery that it is connected to.
I use two of these chargers from HoBo Freight.

I got 'em on sale for about $5.00 ea.
I also bought some of their solar chargers,

they work great on the P.U. truck but as yet I haven't adapted them to the MUTT.
Regards,
Buzz
