Two 12v batteries

[FIN]

My battery drain is getting a little intense with the Trolling Motor, Hbird, aerator, lights etc. One battery isn't enough. I have two marine 12v batteries.
Can I connect 2 batteries together and run all my 12v stuff?
Also can I charge 2 batteries together with a 12v charger?
I don't want to fry my toys but I need to graduate to something bigger.
Thanks

yes just connect them in parallel. positive to positive and negative to negative. they will last a lot longer. when you charge them just but the charger on one of the batterieis and it will charge both. it will take twice as long to charge but it will charge them.
