Ian W Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 All brilliant suggestions thank you. I will use the DPDT switch; it sounds like just the sort of belt and braces option I like. I know it should be the KISS principle, but it's nice to add a little extra too the scenario now and then, just because we can eh? Thanks one and all, excellent response and advice once again. I am very grateful for the help Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Beeney Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Ian, A slight modification then. If you use the change over switch, put the in-line fuse in between the flight box socket and the switch. If you provide it on the battery it will still be in circuit when the battery is connected to the power panel and the starter etc. This may/will cause you problems. The starter particularly sometimes needs a lot of power, this may be more than the rating of the fuse. The reason for having a dedicated pair for the charging lead, and the fuse close to the terminal is so that the maximum length of wiring is fused. Just a thought.
