Re: Custom Chargers for backup battery

Now that we have actually built this circuit, and placed it on our machine, I am more convinced that it needs an input current steering diode.
When the main power breaker is turned off, the RC, Victors ,and such stay alive. Within a few seconds, the RC starts to indicate low voltage, but keeps on going.

Is this really what IFI had in mind?
