''Hint:
For the DPSI Micro - DualBat, two identical batteries must be used, i.e. same
type (NiCad/NiMH or LiPo) and same cell number. The capacity may vary – even
if this does not make sense.''
Another quote from the manual !
It has completely separate pathways for each batt,,.
It will take from the higher voltage source at all times, therefore normally maintaining an equal voltage batt 1 to batt 2.
It has separate and combined low voltage warnings.
The manual is a German to English translation - some quirky phrases result.

Sorry, but I didn't found these explanations on the Emcotec site.
Maybe you have a link .....

The DPSI Micro – DualBat serves as redundant power supply in RC models. Redundancy is accomplished through two connected batteries. If one battery fails, safe operation is assured by the second battery. Usually both batteries are equally discharged. Furthermore, due to both batteries being “parallel”, current drawn from the batteries is cut in half; therefore, batteries with lower capacity can be utilized.
