  Batteries charge independent of the switch. Just keep it on your normal running position.

  Thanks for your quick replies. Very much appreciated! so just to confirm the switch can be on either 1, 2, both or off and they will still charge from the shore power charger?

  On some boats, the position of the battery switch does affect charging.  On yours, it doesn't matter because you have a battery isolator (as do most modern express cruisers).
