Those can be connected to the house bank as the start battery in good condition can go for months if you shut down and it is fully charged.

Jumper cables or a jumper to the solenoid could cover those rare times the start battery is low.

Having something simple and cheap is good for remote areas over a combiner unless you carry a spare or backyard engineer a fix.

For most cruising near West Marine stores have no worries...
