If they're both the same technology (i.e. lead acid, liquid
electrolyte - or - lead acid, gel - or - whatever) then I don't really
see any problem with simply parallelling them to get the 'extra' one
charged. It would probably be worth disconnecting it if leaving long
term.


You need well above the nominal battery voltage to charge it fully.
