I don't know about the unit listed but the concept could be used. The one i just bought uses"Smart Technology" (it test your battery before it kicks in). There isn't anything in the literature to help explain this but I'd assume your battery has to have a certain amount of charge for it to work so it could probably be used along with a week battery.
However back to the concept. If you use a capacitor bank along with a small battery to charge the capacitor bank you should be able to get by with this. Batteries restrict flow where caps give you everything within a few seconds but don't store large charges.
To help explain what I mean the battery might take 30 second to charge the caps where that same charge would be delivered in about 3 seconds. So you get high RPMs out of your starter for easier starts.
I know this is a little old for an answer but maybe it might help someone else wondering the same thing.
