Like Philip, the mad engineer said use a Ford starting solenoid and you can
use your ONE battery to power a HEAVY draw without running mongo big wires

Careful!
A starter solenoid is _not_ rated for continueous duty!

Indeed!
But then I would need to buy another battery, find somewhere to mount
the monstrosity, find a suitable solenoid, and do the wiring. Yikes.

I know nothing about relays, but I hear they're great things.
My intention would be to disconnect the circuit from the battery each
time the car is turned off. Then reconnect it to start the engine. As
it stands, I'm having to pop the hood each time and (dis/re)connect
the battery I want to start
Great info. I'm thinking about running a couple 10 gauge wire inside
and setting up a switch that will connect / disconnect my battery at
the push of a button. Long alternator story.
