Yeah..you would just run one of the source lines from both bats (both pos or both neg)

Make sure you put the switch before the booster in the circuit so that it is not powered up with no load continuously.

I don't know about one switch. You have 2 separate sources coming in to a single contact and then going out to 2 separate boosters. A normal SPST won't know where to send it will it? Wouldn't he be advised to use a DPST switch? I may be wrong, just asking.

With identical circuits and load it will split the current. And yes, if you want to mix atties, then a DPST would be a great way to do it.

I think I might be inclined to do it anyway. I can envision an atty going out and then all power being thrown to the working atty because there is no longer a load on the blown atty.

I have seen other dual atty mods before but never really thought about how they went about wiring them. Being an SQL DB programmer this electrical stuff is very new and very different. Hope I'm not throwing the thread off.

billyboy689 is the guy you are talking about..he posted in this thread last night so I'll let him answer.

I had been looking at his posts and it did not even occur to me that he had posted here.

Hey billy boy can you help me out with this. Or should I just run 2 3.7v batteries to the atties in parallel. I see that you are using 2 3v ones in your mod. How does that work if you put one 18650 to power the 2 801's on your shotgun?

Thanks
