Thanks in advance.
If there connected at the starter it means there running in parallel, meaning what ever the orginal battery gets the second one will get.

The starter might only run with the key turned, however it always has a power supply from the battery.

My GM Senator in the UK alternator was connected to the starter, so was the battery, the idea being when cranking over the alternator was pushing amps to the starter point along with the battery as a clean meaning point.

Question here would be where is the alternator connected to on the truck, i bet that goes to the starter as well.
