Question for the hive mind to see if I'm missing something. Starting to think about and design my electrical system for my Electric Ignition and Fuel Injection system. Looking through some of the aeroelectric diagrams I'm trying to see if there really is any difference between the following two options.
Option 1 - Both batteries feeding a single engine bus using Schottky diodes
Pro - If either battery is working, power is being fed to the bus
Con - May require more switches or breakers to "test" redundancy of the engine system?
Option 2 - Each battery has a dedicated engine bus
Pro - Easy (or easier) to test redundancy of engine system components
Con -installation of multiple buses?
More than willing to put myself out there to see if I'm missing something. I'm leaning towards option 2, but just not sure if there are good compelling reasons for Option 1?
