The Dick Smith / Jaycar kit is only $50. I built one up to put in my Feroza and am currently building one for the inlaws GQ.

Here's some pics of my set up:

RedARC make a smart solenoid for $119 that charges main battery then the second one. Also has provisions for an over ride dash mounted switch.

Highly recommended!
