Two Quick questions,

1- Can I hook up a normal trickle charger to a truck that has two 
batteries?  If so, how should I wire it?  I'm finding confusing info on 
the web.
Do I hook it up to one battery only? 
Do I put the pos on one batt and the neg on the other?
Do I need one for each battery?

2- Is there a 120vac themo switch for a trucks block heater?  (so it only 
turns on the block heater if the outside temp is below a certain temp? 
(what would that temp ideally be?)

Thanks again all!

Thanks in advance.
