Default Kodiak Inc Dual Battery setup?

Is anyone running one of these dual battery systems?

hxxp://www.kodiakinc.com/powersystems/dualbatterykits.html

I was leaning towards the Benchmark system but with all the threads of late indicating issues with Benchmark, incomplete and delayed shipping, unanswered phone calls, quality control, etc., I am looking for other solutions.

TIA

Wow looks interesting...would like to hear some feedback but it's new to the JK so might not see many responses.

These guys had some serious grade stuff at the Socal Offroad Expo, so maybe I will have to be the guinea pig and give them a shot.

Thanks for the info. No response from my email inquiry and don't have time to call at the moment.

Maybe I'll just go with the Painless Performance Dual Battery Kit.
