I was intending on continuing down this path as well...I picked up a cheap charge controller from ebay for a couple of bucks...it will switch on a relay when the voltage gets too low, and switch it back off once it reaches another voltage. It's adjustable. The point of it is if you aren't watching closely and your battery gets drained, it will kick the alt in automatically for you and save you from needing a jump start.
