Sorry, those breakers do have manual reset buttons on the side of them. You can clearly see the buttons sticking out the side.
Attachment is the very same pic shown above, I just added annotation to it. The master
battery relay is extremely common, I had one like it on my Winnebago View motor home, and my 21ft
Bigfoot has this same setup. That relay STAYS where it is powered to. Switch off, relay powers opens and stays there due to spring action, switch on, relay powers closed and stays there due to spring action, a "flip flop" relay.
The one you describe that connects chassis to house to charge house batteries is a simple powered closed, spring loaded open, and looks like this...........
Again, I had one exactly like this on my motor home. The two relays are quite different.
