Iffffffff theres actually two 12 volt batteries and they are in series as you claim,,,,,NO if you put a 12 volt charger across one of them ONLY IT WILL BE CHARGED NOT THE OTHER. To charge them both with a single 12 volt charger, you would have to charge them one at a time...

HOWEVER if it has two 12 volt batteries connected in paralell YES each will receive some charging current if you place a 12 volt charger across them...

NOTE if two are in paralell and one is bad, it could draw more current from the charger then the other.......

If you had a 24 volt charger and placed it across the series of the two 12 volt batteries YES each will receive charging current...

Hope this helps,,,,,,you need to be sure if they are series or paralell (as Id suspect) if you wanna charge them ALSO in dual battery systems its better if BOTH batteries are identical in type n size n design n age etc etc so one isnt caniballizing off the other lol
