what you can do is run a wire from the + and - from the frount battrie and run the wires to the back battrie in the back ov you car or van just put a fuse on the + and there you go no more charging.
Carl Never do this.
The reason is, if one of your batteries is low or even knackered, it will always pull the good one down to its own level. even two brand new batteries should never be wired like this, as even brand new batteries are never 100% efficient. they work out at about 80-85% efficient, so if one new battery is higher, then it will always be pulled down by the worst one.

if you charge your battery every other day, then thats fine, but you will have to monitor it with a muli-meter.
I actually charge mine every day, and like steve k I use the halfords one that minds your battery for you, after an hour or two my charger switches to trickle mode, this is ideal, with your old charger what will happen is it won't switch to trickle mode and continue to give full charge, the first thing you will notice is your battery will start to look a little fatter, and what this means is your over-charging it and the plates are getting hot, and begining to buckle,this will break your battery down faster than mine or steve k's, for £30 you can put your battery on charge as often as you like and the charger will look after it for you, even if you go away for a week and leave it charging.
