T6 Beach On Hookup charging question

[Fast Freddie]

Hi - does anybody know, when on hook up, once the leisure battery has recharged if the charger then tops up the starter/engine battery too?

I have seen various posts around this subject but none I could find answered this specific question. Any confirmation either way would be useful - thanks.

If you have a voltmeter put it on the starter battery terminals. If it reads more than 12v then it's your lucky day.

Great reply.

Yep - think i've confirmed once the leisure battery is charged then it does NOT charge the driving/starter battery.

Remember, just driving will not charge the Leisure Battery to 100% capacity.
Take a note of the Engine Battery Voltage reading.
Hook up the Mains for 24hrs and then check the engine battery voltage again.
On the SE/Ocean, the engine battery is trickle charged only AFTER the Leisure Batteries have reached 100% capacity.

I can find no evidence that the Beach uses a different system other than the fact that it only has 1 Leisure Battery as standard.

Hmm mine charges both batteries on hookup, this weekend on hookup I had 13.4 on the dash socket.

However it wasn't all the time.
