It will work, but the battery with the higher initial charge will get overcharged once it's fully charged (until the battery with the lower initial charge is topped off). I asked the OP for the make and model of the charger to know how many amps it's putting out.

Best thing to do would be return it and get a 2bank. Got a 3 bank on mine and love it. Depending on what the batteries are running they are all in different conditions and require specific charges.

There is little cost between a 1 and 2 bank.

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.
