Does anyone know of a 2 battery switch that just allows for the use of one battery or another at a time but NOT both? I just want a simple A/B switch. Thanks. Most if not all those multiple battery switches include a "both" setting. They are set up so when you change from 1 to both or both to 2 etc the system never sees "no" connection, as this can damage some proper alternator charging systems on the spot. particularly if done when the alt. is running at high output. You can see how it might be tricky or at least more expensive to create a 1/2 switch with this protection. Just get 2 on/off battery switches & position them so it's really obvious if not physically difficult to have them both in the "on" position together. Don't get too fussed about having both batteries connected, the risks are much overstated by the scary bananas brigade & yes the old OB charging systems did show some high voltages but remember they never put out much real power (amps). It takes high volts & high amps together to murder a battery quickly & OB chargers of the type you've mentioned put out very low amps even when they do work:-). K |
