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).

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
undesirable way.
Is there a straight-forward way to do this? (without having to float
charge the batteries separately, thus requiring 2 chargers).
Thanks,
Mark
