Mark,

the set up is such that when key off then the car works just like it normally does except that the juice is coming from house battery not the starting battery.

no other voodoo or complication, just as if one had one battery.

but when the key is turned on it connects the starting battery and the starter and the house battery are all connected (and fused)
