What I  discovered is that with the engine off, if a charging device
is connected  to the aux battery, once it is up to snuff then the starting
battery begins  to charge also!

        Good news and thanks  !  I did not know this and is highly beneficial
!  I've had my 1315  installed with the aux start feature since 4 ~ 5 years
now.  Ran a #4 gauge  wire out of the main battery box through one of the
existing holes along side  one of the other wires, then across above the fuel tank
and into the aux battery  box through a newly drilled and grommeted hole.
Works like a charm.
