I'm running two batteries with a switch (Atwood) which has connectors for
the Field from an alternator. I was led to believe that by connecting these
two small terminals to the proper wires I could switch batteries in mid
stream. Questions: 1. Why does this switch have printed (molded) "do not
switch with engine running"? 2. I have a 200 Merc 2 stroke which has no
alternator, rather a "rectifier" for the charging circuit. Is there a
procedure to hook this up and be able to switch batteries while engine is
running?
