Battery charging
I store my 95 Centurion PSD in winter and use my gas Excursion. I always fill the tank and put in an additive. What I want to know is: last year I stored it face in to the back wall of the garage and when time came to get it out, the batteries were dead. I figured they were 8 years old it was time to replace them. I also bought a battery "tender" to keep a slight charge for winter. How exactly do I hook the tender so that it keeps both batteries charged for the winter. I am in PA.

Although essentially you're all correct, it's best to isolate each battery for proper charging.
However, if you can FULLY charge each battery seperately, then connect them and use a tender it should work fine.
