I got so mad the last time we fought this battery switching battle, I went out and hooked a fresh 12v battery to a low 10v battery with the parallel circuit completed with an amp-meter! I saw no spike and only 300m/a current flow as the fresh battery tried to charge the low battery.........the switches didn’t melt, the amp-meter didn’t explode and the fuses didn’t blow!
I have recently solved the issue by only using one battery............15a/h lithium iron battery............have t seen voltage below 12.2 v, even after 4 hours at 2a average current flow!
Please don’t stop arguing this issue, it’s so entertaining to watch the EE’s chase imaginary amps around!
