We recently put a re-paneled Duo Discus into service with a Clear Nav and

flipped. We have gone to a switch for each battery and the protocol is

to turn on the subsequent switch before turning off the first one. No problems.



Now keep in mind that I am a software guy and know just enough about

electronics to be dangerous, but couldn't you just wire in a sufficiently

large capacitor to bridge the temporary loss of power? I seem to remember

something like that in the wiring instructions for my Volkslogger.

Not sure why folks want to make this complicated. I've been doing it JJ's way and it's rock simple and works flawlessly. Time spent with both batteries in parallel is minimal.
