I'd like to see a full write-up with diagrams, photos,
and names/addresses of places to buy parts. This would
make a good article for Soaring.

Better yet is to use diodes so that both batteries

are available with 18 Amp forward capacity. For redundancy,
I used two
in parallel on each battery.

If it is always drawing from the best battery, what
is the time
interval between switching.
What controls the switching. Please advise.
