What keeps popping up in my mind when I think of this is a bank of relays wired up so that three identical batteries are wired in parallel and connected to the alternator's charging circuit. When you hit the activation switch, the relays switch and the batteries are in series connected to the electrocharger. You could wire in a voltage sensor that could trip a master relay in the event that one of the other relays ever stuck and the charging system would have seen more than one battery's worth of voltage.
It isn't exactly a new idea but it could work and you don't lose energy converting voltages.
