Not at all...
Another option is to
disconnect the batteries from the trolling motor and connect them together
in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) and hook up your charger just like you would to charge a standard 12 volt battery. No extra clips to add to your charger. Since you are using two 12 volt batteries to make a 24 volt system you are already connecting them in series (positive to negative) just switch one of the leads to the other termainal on the second battery (disconnect the negative and connect it to the positive) and add a second cable to the other two terminals (negative to negative) and charge. When you're done, just remove the negative cable and reconnect the batteries in their original configuration. Takes all of about a minute to do this and you can still use your current charger...more money left over to buy bait!! I hope this helps.
