I've got an old boat and just upgraded to lithium trolling motor batteries. The trolling motor is a 4-wire plug. When i try to charge both lithium batteries at the same time with a NOCO 3-bank charger, the Voltage light flashes (have each battery to its own bank on the charger) I took a pic of my wiring schematic on the boat for reference. I think the fix is to change out the wiring to the cartoonish-looking pic.
Can anyone guide me so I do it correctly?

If you are not going to use the 12v on the plug I would wire it straight 24v using both red and both black wires together....I always had problems with the 12/24 switch and plug.

this, you won't want or need the 12v with lithium, wire like the cartoonish pic but eliminate the bottom red/black wires.

With the current wiring setup, should i be able to connect each trolling motor battery to its own bank on the NOCO 3-bank charger and it work appropriately? Trying to diagnose if the charger is malfunctioning.
