2-Batteries

Hi,

I agree that it would be a nice product to offer. Larry Goddard reads this
group, hopefully he'll come up with a good solid product to offer. I'll
copy him on this note as well.

I must admit that I'm not sure I like the automatic switching approach - I
guess I just like to be in control of which battery is being used. The idea
of 2 battery switches and diodes to stop flow seems OK to me, but I'm not
sure it is necessary. I have always used 1 single 3 position switch (Batt
1/Off/Batt 2). I have never had a problem making a fast switch from battery
A to battery B. I wonder if there is a perceived need for something that
really isn't necessary. But I'm not an expert on batteries or diodes.

Good Soaring,

I have the same setup as Paul, and it works fine. However, I have a 302
-- when I had a Volkslogger, this setup would create two separate IGC
files when you switched from one battery to the other.
