Re: New Backup Battery Circuit

We currently use the IFIRobotics diagram on our robot and it works fine but it keeps on working Even when we disconnect the main breaker it keeps on powering the _WHOLE_ system (RC, Victor speed controlers, Spike Relays and w/ teather even the OI ).
I have a feeling it's either because we've missed a diode somwhere (unlikly :S), or because we connected the inputs via the main power block. should we connect it via the fuse pannel and ground bank?

You're missing a diode in series from the input. That should do it.

You should also run it to the breaker panel using a 20AMP circuit breaker, and then use a 1.5AMP inline fuse.
