I have a Chausson Best of 10 based on a Transit Mk7. Obviously I can charge the leisure battery by plugging in the 240v hook up. But doing that does not seem to give any charge to the vehicle battery.
In the engine bay there is a stud which is used to connect to if you want to jump start the vehicle as you can't get at the vehicle battery which is under one of the seats.
So, the question I have is;
Can I connect an ordinary car battery charger to this stud to charge the vehicle battery, with all electrics still connected, but nothing turned on ?
I remember being told years ago that you should disconnect the battery from the vehicle before charging it in case of damaging the electronic circuits, which is obviously impractical in this case.
Thanks for any help. Martin
