One of the responses above told you to connect the charger to the + on the battery that connects to the RV power center and the - on the other battery. If they are 12-volt batteries, they are connected in parallel. Then you can connect to the + and the - on either battery.

Actually no matter what your battery “array” is, the leads to the coach should be at opposite ends to access the “full potential” and charging should be the same.
If you look at large motorhomes that use six 6V batteries, the leads are at opposite ends of the array and since the converter charges using the SAME LEADS, using a portable charger the leads should be at opposite ends also paying attention to polarity.
