I'm in the process of building a 4" timer and altimeter e-bay for doing airstarts in my LOC Ultimate. I'm almost done but I need a little help with wiring my batteries. I plan to run my PET2 timer on 2 9Vs to ensure I have enough current for multiple airstarts.
I think I heard somewhere that you were supposed to wire 2 9Vs from the terminals of the first battery to the terminals of the second battery and finally to the terminals of the timer, if that makes any sense. For example, the positive wire would start on the first battery's positive terminal, run to the second battery's positive terminal, and then run to the positive terminal on the timer. Same for the negative wire, of course. The switch would be in there somewhere but that's not what I'm worried about. Is that correct? It seems like it would be easier to just get 2 standard 9V batt connectors, hook each battery to a connector and then twist the two positive and two negative wires together and connect them to the timer's positive/negative terminals. Is this a no-no? Or would it work fine?
