Default Can you change the battery switch while the engine is running?

Typically, you pick one batt
to start and one batt to cruise.

Not really a good idea. Best practice is to charge both batteries at
every opportunity, and then switch to a single house batt when
stopped. Some people like to alternate between 1 and 2 as the house
batt on different days to equalize the wear and tear.
