Default RE: Ignition power from receiver?

Interesing?

I am using a Weatronic 35 mhz dual receiver, and I found that there was something missing when using these systems - battery monitoring. I got a tip from a friend of mine that Emcotec in Germany have a very nice BMS (battery monitoing system).

This is a fantastic unit which tells you everything you'll ever need to know about the on board batteries. I received mine today, and discovered the following, very interesting text regarding my issue which startet this very thread:

As a specialty, both battery circuits in the DPSI BMS are galvanically
separated! This means, no electrical connection between each other
exists. This allows you to use one battery for the ignition system and
another one for the receiver set and operate both without any
influence. Due to the galvanic separation, it is also possible to operate
the DPSI BMS in connection with all battery switches currently
available on the market.


Now, I'm really not afraid to use ignition power from the flight packs.
