Subject:Battery connections

Hello Wedgers:
        I opened up both front underseat compartments on my "new" '87
Syncro GL Westfalia last night.  On the passenger side is a Diehard, all
connected; fine.  On the drivers side, no battery, but more electrical
stuff than I expected.  It looks like there is relay in there with several
connections in there.  I wonder . . .
        Is this the relay that accompanies the "Auxilliary Battery" in
those Bentley electrical diagrams? for "Auxilliary Battery" vehicles?  Do
I need only a + cable to connect to the relay and a - cable to ground and
then I have a fully fucntional Aux Battery set-up?  Is it that simple??

Thanks in advance?
Alan.
