A constant duty solinoid switched by ignition. If its EFI fit a diode across the energise circuit to control voltage spike.

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!
