Hi members, my van is up for a rego inspection, which will involve testing breakaway battery, I have checked it out and it shows green on charge level, my question is: does this battery ( and for that matter, the main battery) get charged when van is hooked up to mains ?
cheers Bonners

Check if there's a cable coming out of it rat plugs into a 240v socket near by. They have their own charger that's separate to the setec.

Usually will charge when hooked up to tug, if its a breaksafe unit, hook up and plug in to tug with engine running then have a look at your unit it should have the charging light on, since you are in NSW you should have a breakaway battery monitor in your tug showing battery condition, if not get one or you will fail rego.... They will only push the button as you do and pull pinto hear brakes operate.
