Westfalia and mains charging

Hope this isn't too silly a question (I don't yet own a T25, so forgive my ignorance), but on the default Westfalia conversions, is it possible to charge either of the batteries* from the mains hook-up or would this require a Zig-type unit to be installed? If not, I guess on could just hook-up an ordinary battery charger?

* how many batteries does a standard Westy have come to that? I'm assuming 2 - the starting battery plus a leisure battery, is that correct?

Thanks

Paul

If it`s a factory Westy then the onboard charger will charge both batteries when on hook-up. As standard it will have a starter battery and one leisure battery, with space under the passenger seat for another leisure battery if it`s a diesel engine.

Have a look at this for some good info for prospective owner :)
