Do you have the 12V (going into the inverter) on switched circuit? It looks like it's constant hot from the pics. Have you measured current drain even with the inverter turned off?

yeah its hot so i know there is some drain to keep the caps charged but it cant be much at all. once they are charged they stay that way for a while even without power.

why the dual battery setup? Do you have some kind of badass stereo install? How about some more pics of the truck! That's an A-1 install...looks very clean and professional. Props to you.

just make sure you're wires are thick enough and you won't have a fire.

This reminded me of the simpsons when homer had the soffee maker, microwave, slushy machine and crap in his car.
