Does any one have any experience with any of the marine battery combiners
on their rover such as the WEST MARINE COMBINER 50? It seems to be a
practical solution for charging batteries while in flight.
They are basically a voltage sensing relay that will connect the opposite
battery when either one is being charged. They have a 50 Amp version and a
150 Amp version. Cost is $85.00 and $195.00.
COMBINER 50 is rated at:
50 AMPS Continuous
200 AMPS Closing current for 2 seconds
100 AMPS for 5 minutes
Suitable for alternators up to 100AMPS and 18 Volts
The main question is are they RF quiet?
