Dedicated Thruster Battery?

Question:

Hello!  Is it OK to still have the thrusters connected to a new set of Firefly AGM batteries?  Or would it be better to retain one of the Duracell 8D batteries and use it as a dedicated battery for the thrusters?  - Jeff

Answer:

Hi Jeff, since thrusters are high amperage loads and they cause significant voltage drop to most batteries, it’s better to separate your house and thruster loads onto separate battery banks.  - Jeff
