If you are in parallel both batteries should charge off of any charging source you have. The only way on won't charge is if there is a bad connection or a bad battery.

That doesn't really make sense to me. I don't know why a Tender would behave differently than any other charger. I would think it would just see it as on big battery, as long as the batteries match...

Out of curiosity, what style, brand, model number of batteries did you put in. If they are wet cells, they could easily be taking more than the Tender can put out, even when they are full. The...
