Mine is a gen3 but still same same 
I just enlarged the original battery stand and squeezed a 70 Ah AGM battery in there. No more problems in cold weather, never worry when the lights are left on. and just a large USB battery bank for stuff that needs charging on travels.
some of those can do jump starts as well, but i do not need that anymore i think. Still bring starter cables just in case.
I thougth it would be best to improve the exsisting battery rather than put work into one more problem to maintain. at least when there is no winch yet.
So yes, why not a lifepo, lipo or similar flat easy to place in the car charged by a DC charger. If your main battery is better you very rarely need a jump start.

Yes, think the systems for smart alternators are much more expensive than the old voltage sensitive relay type.
