It’s a while since we sold our N - Reg Duetto but there was a battery charger fitted under the cooker for charging on mains hook up. I think there was a rocker switch on the control panel to select leisure or vehicle battery. 
If the newer Duetto has a different control panel some one will correct me but it’s almost the same switch on our 55 plate Rienza.

I have just got a duetto 2006.  Does the charger do both batteries?  Is it permissible to use a solar charger at the same time via cigarette charger?  As you can tell I am new to this van and concerned about the cold weather.

Hi

       2006 Duetto…..the built in charger should charge the battery selected on the control panel…HAB/VEH switch centre off

Hope this helps…..Dave h

Assuming that the cig lighter is "live" when the ignition is off (I think it generally is on a Transit) then yes - it should cause no problem. A large panel will need its own controller (most on-dash panels have them built-in these days) or there is a risk that it could over-charge the battery in full sunlight (though unlikely at this time of year!).
