drooze.....just remember that the secondary battery still has to be able to START the car as well as the primary battery (NHRA regs)....and as a side note... I personally won't use "deep cycle" marine type batteries anymore because they do not like to provide FULL cranking power on a start up...they are designed to allow as much power as possible while going to a full discharge of voltage.....I burned up 2 optima yellow tops before I found this out and now will avoid the deep cycle batteries for that reason....
