In the charger section on page 2, you will see that only the 12v and 24v systems offer a 4A charger for the starter battery.

From what I have found out previously when this question has been asked is that the trickle/start charge follows the charge profile of the main charge with a slight voltage reduction (0.4-0.6v) and a 4A current limit.

I believe it goes into float when the main charger does and effectively just works the same as having a diode and current regulator off the main batteries.
