[C320-list] Battery charging

[Denny Browne]

Both of my batteries charge from shore power with the battery switch  set to on 1, 2 or All. Always have, to the best of recollection. When disconnected and engine not running, 1 and 2 discharge only the indicated battery. Does this indicate a wiring problem?
