			i guess if you have a deep cycle for the house and a cranking battery for starting you don't want them to draw on each other and a left on switch won't keep you from starting.  you also are only charging the one your switch is on.  i have 2 batteries (1000 mca) and i have them hooked up parallel.  i run off both and charge both.  if i need a jump, i call tow boatus.  you can buy a charging isolator that will automatically send the charge to the weakest battery.
