Default Powerbox sensor switch and one receiver

I am upgrading my hotspot to a dual battery system using 2 lipos and a Powerbox sensor switch.

Question is can i use both of the switch outputs onto one receiver (via an usused servo connector)? The thinking being that with both outputs being used, the receiver can be supplied via either lead so there is redundancy in the switch - receiver cabling.

My gut feel is that two independant regulated outputs wont like being commoned up but i cant see any info in the manual re this idea.

Cheers
Dave

Yes, it's fine (and probably the most common way that switch is used).

Dave

its exactly how it's designed. Use any extra socket, they are all common pos/neg
The switch internally is two separate circuits, so no cross feed back.
