Maybe I can bury it.
The itsy bitsy wire in the Hella kit was made for the slow charging of old
style standard car batteries, so they would have a longer life. The product
was designed before Star Track was reintroduced to television and Deep Cycle
Batteries were invented, or prominent in the market place (they held no
position in the mind of the consumer back then).
So they work exactly like they were originally intended, but if you're using
deep cycles, then you're introducing a change in the system and to take full
advantage of the deep cycles fast charging capability, you may wish a
different or modified charging set up, like asking the man behind the
counter at Kragen to give your battery a fast charge.
