I was reading in the Bosch Technical Instruction booklet about Electric
Starting Motors and it says, "Blah, blah, blah... Starting systems are
designed to take into account a given voltage drop in the system. Therefore,
in order to avoid mechanical overload or overheating of the starting mtor, a
storage battery with more than the specified ampere-hour capacity must not
be used."

This raises the question of how to wire our auxiliary batteries. If you wire
two 12 volt batteries together, or allow them to connect together during
starting only as I have done, then it would seem you risk frying your starter. 

Hummm...
