Hello<br /><br />This Battery Switch question seems to be very popular, but it is abit confusing.<br />I have two battery's, 1 starting and 1 deep cycle.<br />Once I started my engine(outboard) can I turn my switch to both? My switch has a AFD. <br />Some say yes & some say no. If I can not, then what is the purpose of having a switch? Since I don't have shore power,which means I can not charge the battery's, I must rely on my engine's alternator.<br />I put on the cabin light and played all the positions on the switch.The light never flickered.<br /><br />Thanks and hopefully I'll get a clearer picture of understanding the FAMOUS BATTERY SELECTOR SWITCH..........
