Way back, maybe 11 years ago, early on in my project, I visited Peter
Brenig - builder of the first Plansbuilt non-prototype Aircar - in
Sausalito. He no longer had his
Thanks everyone for the in-depth replies!
Everything from schmatics to personal experiences. I don't know why I've
been so thick - I'm pretty sure someone has told me around the airport
that you can't connect in parallel such dissimilar batteries. Then
again, others (with my level of understandi
I just got a voltmeter on the battery and it is reading 5.6 volts. So
the problem is not the switch.
Either the battery has failed (it's a one-year old "new" Yuasa out of an
industrial lighting system), or there is something about hooking up a
small gel cell to a large AGM that isn't a good thing
Hi Mike, the voltmeter is sufficient to drain the 7.2 if it is not being
charged. I would isolate the 2 batteries with a proper isolator (off road
shops have them) or install 2 diodes from the charge circuit rather than
using the "bus tie switch". Like Mark I would use them as an 'either-or'

battery for years. I keep it on a float charger all w
Mike,
I used to drive a Pontiac station wagon with a diesel... and two regular
automotive-sized batteries connected in parallel. A good system, it gave the
cranking capacity needed, but if you should do anything to "unbalance" the
battery capacity, (such as try to help by jumpstarting anoth

I've done the same and recently wiped out (over a 1½ week period) my
smaller battery by flipping a switch that links both the main and back-up
system. I conn
