I have two 12V 7 amp gel batteries in a GP ultra e-box. Is there any practical way to charge them without taking them out of the field box?

I thought that box had built in bannana jacks for charging the batteries? Is there something in particular that is causing an issue?
As far as the charging itself, I assume the batteries are wired in parellel, so you would still charge them as 12v batteries. You would just have to double the charge time, or double the charge amperage (if you didn't want it to take that long) vs. charging one at a time.

Thanks, that answers it. Yes it does have a charging jack. Was just not sure about charging both at the same time.
