looks like a complete circuit to me. I can't comment on the particular question you raised about the ignition. My thinking on the surge protector would be that it is dependent on how many amps you're putting through your charger. You've got [email protected]?A, presumably somewhere in the 2-10 range, for the aux bat. If you're drawing [email protected] or so for the main pack, your breaker may not handle it being all on one circuit, and your power strip may not be able to handle that either. Worse case scenario though, you flip the breaker and have to figure something else out.

I just had a thought that might be useful to you. In college we didn't have enough power outlets in the room, so instead of getting a power strip, we got a 3-way extension cord. This is a heavy duty (like 40 amp I think) extension cord used for shops and things as such. Mine was only about 3 foot long but on the end it has 3 grounded 120v plugs. Something like that might do just fine, and then you only have to worry about the breaker and making sure the cord isn't getting hot.

Edit: this isn't quite what I have but the idea is the same. Mine is the industrial orange and a little bit sturdier looking
