That's where the "Connect the charger, switch it on and monitor at regular intervals". sentence comes into play.
As to overcharging, not necessarly true. It depends on a lot of factors...age of both batteries, condition of same, amount of drain they receive, float voltage, etc. Also, don't forget that if they are wired together in parallel they will draw down and recharge together at the same rate.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
