ok, thanks, that's what i was wondering about mainly, the custom circuit.

And yes i am aware that the backup battery will take over, but it seems that the controller tends to power off before it switches to the backup battery. Well, i guess i'm only talking about when we are drawing a significant amount of current from the battery and the voltage temporarily drops. If the voltage drops slowly the backup battery works then.
