Javier,

Your battery arrangement sounds different from my 'factory' set-up.  In my '85 the auxiliary battery powers the usual auxiliary stuff and the other runs the starter and other 'car' stuff.  The alterator charges both batteries.  What you may want to do is get one of the Hella auxiliary battery kits or look in Bentley for the proper wiring to get your auxiliary hooked to the alternator.

charges from an external source (plug) thru a charger that fits under the
