Peace. To answer your first question, I was simply answering his question, which was whether that schematic would work. It will not! And only could with switches. That was the extent of my response. I agree with your second statement - I tend to say the same thing a bit differently - you...

Hi Stuart - I don't understand how upset you seem to be over this. You are reading a lot into the simple comment I posted that that schematic would not work and the only way that schematic could come close to working is with isolator switches. I am well aware of the principles involved. I...

??? I comment that the schematic was not going to work unless it included isolator switches, and you rag on me because switches cost money. So then I point out that if someone was dead set on just tapping off of one battery, you can average the 'wear and tear' over both batteries by swapping...

Hold on there, cowboy. :) When I mentioned the need for isolation switches, I made absolutely no mention of whether or not that would be 'on the cheap'. I was simply responding to the request for comments on the schematic that was posted. That diagram has short circuits and in any case...

Also, if I am not mistaken, the 12 accessories will see 24 volts since if they share the same ground. You need isolation switches to make this work.
