Well I never thought about doing that, but great idea.
That way when the deep cycles are depleated you flip it over to regular starting battery and the alternator doesn't see the huge load of the depleated deep cycles. I got it!
Did you ever find the female side of the alternator plug? I guess I don't know which one is considered the male end and which the female. I was hoping i could find the other end somewhere, but without tearing apart an alternator housing i don't know if this path is possible.
