Hello all-



I have implemented Z-19 (dual battery, redundant main and engine

busses) for my bird.  I would like to add the ability to easily hook

up a float trickle charger to the aircraft to keep both batteries

topped up while sitting in the hangar.  Due to the design of Z-19,

however, I can't see a simple way to accomplish this that doesn't

result in the batteries being tied together in what would likely be an

undesireable way.



Is there a straight-forward way to do this?  (without having to float

charge the batteries separately, thus requiring 2 chargers).



Thanks,



Mark

Mark,



Yes there is.  Simply connect a 16 gauge wire to the positive terminals of each battery, and connected to a regular panel-type switch.  When charging the batteries, simply flip the switch on and both will charge.

 

It's working well in my setup.

I have a cigarette lighter receptacle for each battery, fused off each

battery's hot bus, on my IP.

I made up a "Y" for my battery charger with lighter plugs, so when I want to

charge the batteries, I just plug it into the receptacle(s).
