two batteries on one switch?
On my currrent project i will have two batteries, one hooked to the reciever and one on a Servo Syncronizer. I would like to have these two batteries hooked up to one switch but i have no clue if this is possible or how to do it.
Thanks,
Austin

RE: two batteries on one switch?
Hi Austin,
My setup is actually quite simple. Two Lipo packs will support the receiver and servos. Each has its own switch. They are truly redundant. The 3rd battery will power the ignition on the DA50.
If you use one switch, and that switch fails for some reason, you may well lose BOTH packs and all your power. You're introducing a single point of failure by using a common switch.
