Because this is still in the planning stage and taking on board the comments I may now reconsider my previous comment that a VSR could be the simplest solution for charging the Auxiliary Battery. ..... Ill be using the LightSpeed recommendation circuit for powering (and charging) one ignition from the Auxiliary Battery. Instead of the Schottky Diode or a VCR in that circuit, the good old tried and proven Master Type Solenoid could be used. The activation switch, powered from the Auxiliary Battery could be located near the ignition switches. Cant envisage any disadvantages, but advantages over the Schottky, VCR and DcDc Charger. would be. Readily available, robust, reliable and economical components. No standby power consumption (around 10mA) with most VSRs. With the correct gauge connections the Auxiliary Battery could be used with the Main Battery for starting if needed. .... Easily connect or disconnect both batterys to maintain two seperate power storage sources for Electronic Ignitions. ...... Comments invited.
