I can't point to specific examples,  (check thesamba ?) but I'm sure
some have installed a charger or similar, in the space under the
driver seat. Didn't Alistair Bell do something similar? Just my .02,
but if it were me, I'd want the charger display somewhere I could
easily see it.

I have 2 aux. batteries. For the cheap group 41 under driver seat,
I've been using a "can" type solenoid isolator image:

w/o any issues. This battery typically sees low current draw.
