Agree that’s what I do and no issues to date after 7 years.Stop worrying. Plug the EHU in and leave everything as normal.

Not worrying, just curious.Stop worrying. Plug the EHU in and leave everything as normal.
I had the same problem a few years ago - I thought the solar was doing both batteries.Apologies for what will seem an obvious question to those who know the answer.
How long can I leave my engine battery flat before it affects the leisure batteries?
My engine battery is as dead as the proverbial dodo; I've been unable to give it its weekly turn over for a month due to illness but I've got someone coming to get it going for me. The battery was changed during the first lockdown and the leisures are two 110 gels. The van is in storage and I have no access EHU at home for it.
Thanks
....... or I bang on about the Battery Master that maintains the charge in both sets of batteries, just because I've got one, and it works.This is where Wildebus tells us about his dc dc converter that runs of the leisure batteries and holds up the starter batteries that is either in production or being planned
the Victron chargers will work on a battery that other chargers wont start up with. I've recharged a battery that was under 4V.If the battery is completely flat it's unlikely that it will respond to an external charger which will see it as a lost cause.
I was amazed that my starter battery 'recovered' after running the alternator for a few hours.
I wouldn't say that it is perfect but I've done a few years now with no problems which I put down to keeping it topped up with solar.
I've no doubt that it's storage capacity is seriously compromised but it does what starter batteries are supposed to do - deliver a healthy current for a few seconds to start the engine.
After that the alternator takes over.
