Will The Redarc BCDC Charge Both the Starter and Leisure Battery Simultaneously

Question:

Hi I have a Ctek 250s dual installed that charges my leisure battery from mains voltage and from the vehicle when running. The vehicle is a 2016 vw t6 with 4 motion technology. Does the ctek 250s dual charge both the leisure battery and starter battery when connected to mains voltage supply?

The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D will charge both the starter and leisure battery but not at the same time. Once the leisure battery receives a full charge the battery charger will then switch to charging the starter battery. In order to speed the process of charging the leisure battery up which will in turn allow the starter battery to charge sooner, I recommend adding a solar panel.
