There's ABSOLUTELY no need to unhook the batteries. HOWEVER, when working with this or ANY battery setup, wear the appropriate safety goggles! Simply charge one 12-Volt battery at a time with the 12-Volt charger, or you can use two 12-Volt chargers at a time, one connected to each battery. At each battery, put the charger's RED clip on the battery's (+) terminal and the BLACK clip on the (-) terminal, following the markings on the battery case. I have done this with semi trucks, Deere 730's and an 830, and with a 24-Volt 4020 I still own. Absolutely no problems. To be extra safe, set the battery charger(s) on the ground, or an a table or stand away from the frame of the machine. (SOME older battery chargers had the (-) lead internally connected to the metal case of the charger, and the case of the charger COULD spark to the frame of the machine when connected to one of the batteries.)
