OFF/1/BOTH/2 Battery Switch
« on: February 25, 2010, 07:06:52 PM »
Seems some of the guys over in Boston Whaler-land don't really understand how a dual battery switch works.  Wanted to see what you guys think.  In other words, does what I draw/say make sense?




Comments are welcome, especially the ones that point out what I did wrong! :shock:

For some reason, the guy who runs Whaler Central couldn't understand that if the house batt went dead, you can still power the float by switching to "ALL".  I mean, you can see the connection via the internal jumpers.  He also said you don't attach anything to batt 1 or 2 as that defeats the purpose of a "batt switch"...well, hey dumbass, you DON'T want to turn off your constant hot feeds...hence the name CONSTANT HOT!

Maybe that's why he owns a Whaler... :roll:

...and then there's NFG, which I had to explain the difference to the little Mexican cleaning girls back at Wellcraft.

He's just quick, and I was posting about how cold it is!

Maybe the new forum setup will include a chat room. We have a pretty good time on http://www.airforums.com on tuesday nights talking airstreams!
