Makes a difference ?
If 2 12 volt in series you are supposed to use identical batteries and charge them fully then wire  them up parallel to “balance “ them for 12 to 24 hours before wiring in series.

Yes, two 12 v wired in series for a 24 v motor. As I said, the first time I took it out after buying it, it worked fine, trolling for 6 hrs or so, the second try was where the problems began. My guess is the on board lithium charger is working properly. Yes, they are the exact same batteries. Since i did not buy them, because they came on the boat, i have no idea if the were charged properly when first installed. I'm hoping that this single charger will get them back up and working properly, then i'll buy a new charger., but until I figure out if it's the batteries or the charger, I'm stuck. Thought one of you guys might have a different idea. Also, when i went to try out the new app on my cell, for the lithium batteries, it could not detect the batteries, when hitting scan
