There is another option here.
After fitting my dual battery kit to my L322, I noticed this in the the instructions:
There is also another advantage to this SHARED mode. With continual short drive use of any vehicle, the cranking battery is never properly RECHARGED after starting the motor.
With the DT90 and an Optima battery, because the Optima is a genuine fast charging battery, after a short drive, the Optima will always be in a higher state of charge than the cranking battery.
When you turn your motor off, the two batteries will settle back to their respective states of charge, but because the Optima will always be in a higher state of charge and combined with the fact the DT90 keeps the batteries connect, the Optima slowly discharges back into the cranking battery, progressively raising the cranking battery’s settled voltage.
Over a period of one to three weeks after you install the DT90 kit, your cranking battery will eventually be continually maintained in a fully charged state at all times.
This means your motor will start easier, and as your cranking battery is not working as hard to start your motor, it will have a longer operating life. Current: RR L322 2010
