RE: Is it an acceptable practice to
Hi Luis,
Do the regulators mentioned have diodes in series? A diode is necessary to keep the batteries independent of one another and also ensures the current draw is equal from both packs.
As the others say, creating a single point of dependency is never a good idea. I run two Rx packs with diodes in parallel joining after two HD switches, and then branch off into power for Rx and 3 match boxes. This is still not invincible, but very reliable. Also, you need seperate charge leads to each pack before the diodes (diodes allow one way current).
Hope this helps.
