Bob and all
This is probably a dumb question but I will make it anyway.
In a Dual battery electric system architecture, like Z-14 for example, the Aux
Battery will not be charging in flight unless the aux batt. Switch is flipped
On (thus closing the Aux Batt contactor), right?

Z-14 is dual battery/dual alternator, split-bus
system. The aux battery is maintained by its
dedicated alternator.
In Z-14, normal ops are conducted with everything
ON except the cross-feed contactor.
On other dual battery systems with only one alternator
and perhaps an aux alternator, then both battery
contactors are closed during normal operations to
be charged in parallel.
