You should consider one of the progressive dynamics chargers. Designed and listed for RV applications and with the charge wizard, is an excellent charger. It is also designed to used as a power supply with a clean DC output so no hum and other noise on your stereo. The Surepower will take care of charging both batteries.

I'm planning on wiring a 120V battery charger to the system to keep the batteries topped up when parked in my garage. The aux battery will be a 105 AH deep cycle Diehard and will live under my rear seat. Starter battery is the usual starter type battery. Will the starter battery charge (through the 1315) if I wire the 120V charger to the aux battery? Or would it be better, because of the two types of batteries, to get a dual bank charger like this Schumacher and charge each battery independently? http://wwww.batterymart.com/p-schumacher-10-20-amp-charger.html
