I ve already tried connecting them and in the second picture is the only way that the battery charger will actually charger it will not charge any other way that i connect them.
Charging 24v system with 12v charger.

I have a 12 volt battery tender here.
If your charger is small enough to be carried aboard your boat you can leave these cables in place since the charging procedure requires it.
As far as charging boat batteries on the water test your system on land and always use the correct size fuse and proper gauge wires safety.
While selecting the correct charger to charge and maintain batteries which are wired in series using genius or gen chargers the battery system must equal out to 12v unless using the 24v mode on our larger chargers the batteries must equal 24v.
Alternatively you must arrange that contacts b and c make first energising the relays before the charger is connected.
The batteries look like this.
It s a 24 volt system but it s actually two 12 volt batteries tied together.
While most vehicles use a 12 volt 12v electrical system many buses and some boats utilize a 24 volt system.
You can use a 24 volt charger or a 12 volt two bank charger.
The 24v systems that employ 12v batteries can be recharged with a 12v alternator by simply being plugged in like any other 12v battery.
If your boat has a 24 volt battery system it probably has two 12 volt batteries that are wired together so that the negative post of the first battery connects to the positive post of the second battery.
Some 24v systems actually employ a series of linked 12v or 8v batteries.
In the examples below two 6v batteries in series 12v.
