I have a circuit that goes beyond battery backup. It’s in the Fortify workshop posted last night. Basically, it automatically reroutes power from other circuits when your primary defense circuit loses power and has battery backup. Check out the circuit in the workshop!
The issue with this setup is that you need generation capacity to be 3x what you need to make sure the batteries stay full. Otherwise the main battery everything is wired into runs flat and you get a reboot loop in the turrets as the system flips between the batteries every few seconds. For backup power, using branches to direct most of the input power to the primary battery is best practice since that will always keep it topped up, thus avoiding the reboot loop issue. Alternatively, adding some sort of timer logic that creates a delay in re-activating the blocker would also mitigate this.
Can't you just put an extra large battery into an external TC and link both batteries to a root combiner, so if the the main battery is destroyed, power will run through the external while still continuing to charge Or would this not work?
your always best to use 1 extra wind turbine than you have batteries with doing multiples.....2 batteries = 3 wind turbines, 3 batteries = 4 wind turbines etc......then you can "split" charging between all the batteries and either combine battery outputs or break them out using blockers as backups to each other. Personally I prefer to use the batteries and power vs. having backups sitting idle.
cool stuff bro! You really helped me understand that what they say and what it does are totally different. I was wonder WHY don't my stuff work! You really helped a lot. Are there other things they don't tell you?

lol, I might be a little Rusty. It's the whole "he said the name" from family guy joke. I real life laughed out loud. Thank you for that.

Try to connect at terminals 1 & 3 on a splitter if you are connecting only two devices, should fix the consumption issue.
Haven't heard this before - will test. Thanks for the info

Glad to hear it! There is so much they don't tell you, I'll try to get to most of it that I know.
people should not make videos if they dont know what they are talking about.
