Default Charging parallelled 12v car batteries "in situ"

old tractor, 2 x 12v biggish batteries linked in parallel provide
the power to start.

Only used for fetching haylage once a week so batteries often
don't start it the next time....

Is it OK to just charge the pair of batteries by clipping on a
battery charger, without disconnecting the interconnecting
wiring?

Or is it necessary or advisable (and why please) to electrically
isolate each and charge one at a time?

For longer term would a solar trickle charger be worthwhile?

TIA
