There are also isolation relays available that do the same type of thing. I installed one in a Mercedes Benz sprinter to control a aux battery that ran an inverter for a 36" led LCD TV and a Bose sound system.

Basically it linked your aux battery to your main battery and when the main battery was at 13v or more the relay closes which allows your charging system to charge both batteries. But when the main battery falls below 13v (meaning the charging system is inactive)the relay opens and steperates the two batteries. It also has a feature which helps boost your main battery with your aux battery while starting if the main battery doesn't have enough power.
