External battery starter assist

For those who go alternator-less:
What about having a second starter battery in your garage, which you connect parallel to the car's battery whenever you park at home. The initial start up of the engine would halve the current need and halve the power drain on the car's battery, leaving a bit more for your trip. Both may also slightly reduce wear/aging of the battery, increasing its useable life.
