Trickle charger with 2 parallel (starter) batteries?
Any problem here?
The batteries are identical in age & condition (essentially new). Will the charger logic still function correctly?

No problem as stated, hard to imagine why you'd think there would be.
But there are horrible "trickle chargers" that would murder a single unit.
And wonderful ones that still wouldn't work if loads are higher than their Ah per day output.
Devil's in the details.

Hook up a volt meter so you can see how it charges, that it is charging and how it looks after testing over night
