Default 12v/24v field box-how to charge?

I am thinking about using this setup in my Great Planes Master Caddy. I will be installing the 24v female banana plugs on the outside of the battery box, probably on the side so as not to interfere with the 12v power panel on the front. This 24v source will be used for my Dynatron starter when starting gas engines, while my 12v power panel will still be used for glow planes. My question is how do I go about charging both of these batteries once they are enclosed in the starter box? With the single 12v battery I currently have, I simply plug my charger (banana plugs) into the existing power panel. Would I get a second 12v charger and plug that into my new 24v output on the side of the box to charge the second battery?

Any advice/diagrams are appreciated!

Thanks,

Liam
