trickle charger question

I am in the process of replacing/upgrading the batteries in my 2007 3400RL. I am going from a "regular" battery to two AGM's hooked in parallel. When in storage I want to connect a trickle charger. Does it matter whether I connect the charger to one battery or should I connect it to the positive on one battery and the negative on the other? Don't want to overcharge/undercharge one of them.

If batteries are connected parallel, connecting to one will charge both

Trickle chargers can't overcharge...but you need to make sure the charger as well as the converter circuitry in your montana meet the requirements of the agm battery. If they don't, you will be replacing the agm's sooner than you wanted to. John
