    first i wouldn't place batteries in living spaces, especially lead acid.

    if they're charged by the same charger, they'd have to be the same type...
    you can't really have the charger charge both AGMs and wets for instance.

    i woudn't use one for the fridge and one for the rest, not flexible enough.
    I'd either alternate, use one first then switch over or just paralel them.
