Baintech kit, will this suit my needs?

I'm looking at this what seems like a sweet deal for what I need.
I have a V6auto and being auto can not bump start like i used to in my old manual lux.
So want a dual battery setup that simply charges both batts from the alt so I have a secondary crank batt ready to go if ever needed. It's a work truck not a tourer so the only aux item that I might ever run would maybe be a small fridge, if I ever bought one, if I can't no worries I'll stick with the good Ol esky. Not fazed about the magazines just this kit is $80 cheaper than on eBay at the mo.
Is this baintech isolater kit good enough for what I want to do?

I done a google on the kit last week, everything I read seemed to be pretty good for the price.
Cheers,
Jay

really depends on what sort of second battery you're going to use?

if you're spending the money on AGM, then you really should use a dc-dc charger like the Redarc or Ctek units
