Default Battery switching without tears

That could be a significant voltage drop across the resistors. I'd use
a couple power Schottky diodes instead.

Big old power resistors. I think they were 1-2 ohms. However, after considering battery performance implications of deep discharge I normally fly with the switch set to both batteries.

... a few ohms of series resistance will cut it down to a couple of amps if you are anal about it.
