Default Battery question.

How does the charging and battery [Perko] switch work.
If I have the switch on batt 1or 2 does it still charge the other battery and not draw current.
If I leave the switch on batt 1 or 2 will the other battery eventually go dead.

What is the best position to leave the switch in 1/2 0r ALL?

thanx

basically while running switch in "all" charges both batteries..while stopped either "1" Or "2" will consume off selected Battery and preserve the other Battery for Backup ... When charging batteries off a charger you can Select "All" then just attach Battery charger to either battery and it will charge both batteries but really not a good idea because a weak or Damaged Battery could affect the other Battery ...Best option for charging Batteries is a dual output Charger or just charge one Battery at a time with Switch in "off" mode ....m
