I sometimes take a third battery with me, while im driving I have it in the tub and connected through an anderson plug straight to the second battery under the bonnett. Yes it will take longer to charge as i only have to 20A redarc charger, but on long drives i figure it will be better than not charging. When at camp i often take it out of the car and put it in the middle of the camp to general electrical item use. If it starts to drain it too much i put it back in the car to charge when driving.
One thing to note with that setup is I disconnect the third battery when the car is not running to eliminate any sort of power drain from the second to the third, (due to them being different batteries) because ideally i want the second one under the hood fully charged, then the third one with whatever charge is left.
I have had 2 extra batteries in the tub once connected to the second one under the bonnet (obviously charged very slow with the 20a) but it was overkill so I dont do that anymore.
Just my 2c
