Default A complicated question about LiFePO4 batteries, - and switching.

Redundancy, that's the answer.


As with SLAs, prefer switches for each battery. The locking toggle switches made by Alcoswitch are great, for example their SPDT part # MTL106D.
Switch battery 2 on before switching battery 1 off. There is no need for capacitors or diodes.
Believe two standard 10Ah LiFePo4 will fit in the Libelle's battery compartment.
