ok so how to wire for 24v power from batteries and 12v charging too them?

This is gonna end up being a bit like the RedWine Audio amps - one of theirs does the 12v/24v thing

I'd gear up a multi-pole rotary switch with a four positions:

- everything off
- amp off battery - batteries in series, amplifier connected to battery
- amp off AC supply - batteries disconnected, amplifier connected to power supply
- charge mode - batteries in parallel and connected to battery charger

In the last position, I'd put a low value resistor (1-2 ohms?) in series with each of the batteries. It'll limit a possible current surge between the two batteries if their voltages are different, and it will balance the battery voltages.

I haven't thought about how many poles you need in a rotary switch to pull this off.
