Batteries load.

Does the connection to outer energy by cable also charge the engine battery or just charge the leisure batteries?

If I remember correctly both leisure and the engine batteries get charged.

Yes, but I believe the Starter battery might only be trickle charged, unlike the leisure batteries.

I was thinking the same that it was trickle charge but when i have it plugged into the mains and i look at my tracker app i can see the voltage to the battery is 14.3 volts dropping down to 13.2 after a while.at the moment i dont have the mains plugged in and its reading 12.6v

Depends on your Cali. Some 6s and most if not all 6.1, yes. Trickle.

As it happens, I had my T6.1 plugged in for a few hours on the weekend. Here's the voltage profile in case it helps. I've got solar on the leisure batteries so they were largely full (and also probably explains the voltage fluctuation here). I was mainly just keeping the starter charged after a week or so sitting unused in some cold weather (battery was showing close to 12v at night, recovering again during the day).

Plugged in at 11:30, unplugged around 7pm.

Why say "trickle load", when the manual says all three will be charged?
