So I got myself a thunder 12 volt 12 amp 8 stage battery charger.
Pluged it all up and it's working away well. Checked the gauge and as you can see both batteries are above 14 volts is this norma? The charger is connected to the aux battery but yet both batteries are showing charge.

‘Should’ be fine Jaysee, if I remember correctly 14.8v is about the safe max, others will know better. I know my Redarc isolater doesn’t open from main <> aux until about 13.2v so only assuming it’s the same when charged in reverse as you are?
What Volt readings were either battery before you hooked it up mate?

I like the 'should' Mark..
Nah, it's makes sense as you put it.
Aux battery was @12.7v before charger went on. Put charger on and it climbed to 80% I left it on for a bit. Needed to go out so packed it up and will give it a good run tonight. Starter battery don't know.

‘I’ electrical and mechanical hack nuffy ‘should’ always be careful, lol :-)
Assuming also that your ‘right’ side gauge is the auxiliary mate? Closest to the charge source hence giving slightly higher circa 0.2v reading?

Does sound like a very efficient charger mate, actually in the market for a decent shed one myself these days. If time permits please do post up a link to the ‘Thunder 12v’ ripper, Cheers!

Finished passenger side hub seal/TB brake upgrade. @MudRunnerTD I have some photo's of the removal of the knuckle bearings using a sykes puller if you want to include in your build, plus a shot of the new disk fitted to the old hub - important step in the brake upgrade. Bleeding the brakes tomorrow with my brother , could not get all the air out using the one man bleed kit.
