That’s a battery switch in the middle which seems strange for starting battery (s).
Not strange at all. It is very common to have a "battery switch" and associated control circuitry to charge BOTH banks when either charging input is active......and to break that connection when there is no charging input.
That is the same solenoid that closes when you push the "emergency start" button in the cab.
It is also common for that relay/solenoid to fail, in which case there will be NO cross-charging from either input source......and the emergency start function likely won't work either.
If that has failed, it is important to get it fixed.
