Is there a switch created that can switch power from one of two 6v batterys to provide constent power? |
I am looking to power a digital game camera that runs on a 6v battery. The big square type. I have added a solar charger however if the flash goes off to often in one day the battery is draned at a time when the solar charger isn't effective. My thought was to use two 6v in parallel or use a switch that would switch the power source before the battery is run down letting the other battery to be charged by the solar panel The end goal would be for the switch to be automatic with out having to be present as the camara is 2 hours away. The YUKS, is correct about the ASCO automatic transfer switch. They are industrial grade a High $$$$ item. If the pictures are taken by a flash, absolutely continuous power is probably not required, and any single-pole double-throw switch would do; you can get one at the hardware store for less than two bucks. If you want absolutely continuous power, use two single-throw switches, one for each battery; turn the second battery on a moment before turning the first battery off. Sure, it's actually called an automatic transfer switch. You select it to the power source that will act as the primary, and it compares voltage to a set limit. If voltage drops below the setpoint, it switches over to the backup power source. You'd have to ensure that the solar cell charges both batteries as necessary so the transfer switch has something to transfer to. You could try just putting the batteries in parallel with diodes on the positive pole of the battery to avoid one battery feeding the other. However, then your charging system becomes a bit more complicated. if you want a manual switch, you do not need a |
