Hello VAF braintrust...
I have been through Aeroelectic. I have searched on this forum. But, I could use some help from you all.
I'd like to wire in an AUX BATTERY through a 20A relay and fuse to an AVIONICS BUS. Note: I am not interested in a dual alternator set up or a completely redundant battery. My interest is really to try and keep things simple.
Questions:
1) Is it okay to run the AUX Battery circuit under normal operations? This would also allow me to charge the AUX battery at the same time, correct?
2) Any considerations for using a solenoid vs a 20A relay in this case? I am anticipating a 12-13A steady state draw on the avionics bus. The AUX Battery relay connects to the AVIONICS BUS through of a 30A bladed ATC fuse and fuse block.
3) Should I consider adding a 20A current limiter? Any reason to consider doing so?
All opinions welcome! Thank you very much.
Regards.
