Default RE: KMP Edge 540

Did you guys set up a dual battery pack in your Edge 540s? If so did you put two exterior switches or rig up some other method? I am using NiMH 2700 batts and have two, but do not want 2 exterior switches.

I am using a [link=http://www.dimensionengineering.com/PicoSwitch.htm]pico[/link] switch for the ignition and though about using a second one connected to the primary switch. Switch the main switch would activate the second in turn both batteries. I'm also planning on using the [link=http://www.smart-fly.com/Products/BatShare/batshare.htm]batshare[/link] if I do this method. Just not sure how critical two batteries are since in 15 years of doing this I've never had a battery failure in flight.

Thanks,

Shane
