Is it safe to interconnect 2 - 12 volt batteries together to keep them at 12 volts?

Yes, this is known as a parallel connection. When wired in this configuration you will get double the amp/hours out of the batteries over just using one battery. Batteries connected in series results in the voltages being additive. Batteries in parallel results in longer amp/hour capacity.

When hooking 2 12 volt batteries together which poles do you use to connect the 2 batteries to what ever you are using to kept a 12 volt system?
You need to keep the batteries in parallel. The positive poles of the battery are to be connected together. Also the negative poles need to be connected together. This will maintain the voltage at 12 volts and also give you double the endurance when discharging the batteries when connected to a load.
Can you hook 2-12 volt batteries and keep 12 volt?
Yes, connect them in Parallel. You will still have 12 volts but the amperage will double which is fine.
Can you get both 12 and 24 volts from 2 - 12 volt batteries?
You will need a second battery in series with the first battery to produce the 24 volts DC. To keep it charged the series connection will have to be manually changed to a parallel connection.
What does wired in series mean?
when you hook two batteries together and keep the same voltage by connecting the POS post of batt #1 to POS post of batt #2 and the NEG post of batt #1 to the NEG post of batt #2. this will give you 12 volts of power for a longer duration.
How do you install a second battery?
If you wish to install 2 batteries and keep the same 12 volt supply then connect them in Parallel. You will double the capacity (Amp Hours) but still have 12 volts. Click the link to see a parallel connection.
Does Nerf vulcan have batteries?
The Vulcan requires batteries to function, but does not come with the blaster. You have to keep buying new batteries, which is quite expensive.

Is it true that batteries and will keep their charge longer if they are kept in a refrigerator or freezer?
Placing batteries in the freezer will likely damage them.
What is a controller used for?
A charge controller is a regulator that you used to keep batteries from overcharging as well as undercharging. You need to keep batteries that are in storage charged so a charge controller will help to keep them at the right charge level.
