Default RE: Dual battery options for reciever

Hey Charlie,

Interesting device. Three things though.

1. I see there are two leads in and out...but does the device potentially create a single point of failure thereby negating the dual battery redundancy? If the device fails then what?
2. If it is drawing from one battery at a time (back and forth from what I read), what happens to the higher amperage draw that dual leads make available to high demand digital servos? To get the benefit, the system has to be free to pull from both batteries simultaneously, no?
3. Why do I need a device to decide where to pull power from anyway? I'm thinking right now my dual setups run down the same anyway. In other words, what problem is the device solving...maybe that is what I am not picking up on.

Just trying to understand the products application...embarrassed to say I haven't seenthe device!

Thanks my friend!

Tom
