Supplemental(secondary) battery question..

My amp drained all the power out of the battery(yuasa or something) that came with my GD3 and ive been carrying a jumpstart battery for a while on the occasions it drops to 11.8v(once-twice a week). So i was thinking, if i wall charged the battery back up; i might be able to wire it in parallel and use it like "a supplemental battery or capacitor", while my optima d51r is the main. and man i am surprise it fits even with the SRI.

what do you guys think?

-i wasn't listening to my music when the car was off. it just ate up all the power the alternator could push, and started eating the power out the battery. i just need to upgrade the alternator as soon as possible before it kills my yellowtop.
