One Charger to recharge vehicle battery which will then charge leisure battery?

[Shanz]

Hi All,

I have have read many posts on here about charging 2 batteries and now my head is fried.

I have a T6, 16 plate and after reading about VSRs and the new alternator charging technology, I understand my existing Split Charge VSR is doing nothing to charge my leisure battery.

Am I correct in thinking this?

This leads onto my other question - If I buy a Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 Charger 12/15(1) 230V - BPC121542002 will it charge the starter battery and also provide enough volts to increase above the 12.9 volts required to activate the voltage sensitive relay and then charge the leisure battery?

Thanks for any advice.

I get confused too, my factory leisure battery set up works fine, despite reading it does a poor job.

Send a pm to @travelvolts who can sell you exactly what you need.

Yes.... you can tweek the Victron Chargers voltage via the app to get the required effect.

FYI we done that setup here:

Charging Starter and Leisure batteries with same charger - Victron

Hi, Inspired by @Deaky build post, I was planning on installing a Victron IP65 Smart charger next to the Starter Battery and a 2nd one to charge the Leisure batter (110AH AGM). I've discovered the CTEK D250SE will still charge the leisure battery as long as the volts on the starter battery are...
