| Subject: | Viking engine duel battery setup |
Hi Robert,
I know you have concerns about the Viking engine's electrical system. But I
purchased a Zenith aircraft with this engine and want to make the plane as
safe as I can. The engine is an "aircraftized" Honda Fit with fuel
injection. Since the engine will stop is a fuel pump fails Jan Eggenfeller
specified duel redundant fuel pumps and the ability to switch pumps.
However, there are no previsions for a duel battery circuit or a way to
isolate the battery in case of an alternator fault.
I would like to install two batteries that are both charged from the 55-Amp
alternator and also be able to select the battery that powers the plane's
electricals and to isolate the batteries by disconnecting a faulty
alternator in flight. I previously built a plane with a Rotax 912 using your
wiring diagram, (after attending your great seminar). The Rotax diagram had
battery isolation capabilities and was wondering of any of your wiring
diagrams describe how to do this for my Viking engine or, if not, can you
explain how I can do this properly or at least specify the diodes I need to
install in the attached diagram.
Thank you for your help,
Les Goldner
