Stupid me, I had my head stuck in the automotive world... thanks for the suggestions. Cool little lithium batteries, and yes, would be very easy to fit. Need to check charge profile compatibility with with my shore power charger, but for a dedicated start battery that's not essential. Josh - yes, have done my homework on the rest and purchased a blue sea acr/vsr as well as their isolating/combining selector switch in panel, (nice, it has 24/7 breakers incorporated) plus a victron battery condition monitor. I have the 55a alternator so should be ok, and House bank is two form 31 deep cycles. Will revise the grounding to a proper buss as part of this. Big improvements in functionality! dave.

Those looked pretty awesome! Small enough to fit anywhere and powerful enough to start.
