Would someone please explain (in simple language!) why my stock battery set up is works like this:
Perco batt switch " 1 - both - 2 " implys that the 12 volt system can (and does) run off the Number 1 battery, Both batteries, or the Number 2 Batt.
But if for some reason either batt is pulled out, the other single batt will not power the system even if it's a new batt.
Why do both batts have to be in place for the system to be powered up, even if one of them is not good?!
Would it not be preferable to have a system in place where either ( independant of the other ) battery would suffice?
Does the 'bridge' strap between the two negative terminals of the batts factor into this discussion?!!
Thank you.
