I was thinking of using two small batteries instead of one bigger one and running one ignition off of each one. They would charge through one alternator with a diode battery isolator. For starting I would have dual small starter solenoids that would parallel both batteries for the start. Of course, I wold have two busses in the plane with means to transfer loads between them. The Dynon and a few other things would have inputs from both batteries.
I really don't like the idea an ignition system that would let the engine die if the battery died and this would fix tat problem.

At runup I'd swap systems as a sort of "mag check" process.
