A FANTASTIC SITE !!!!! Thanks for sharing. The Borsch relays pictured are exactly what I used to connect my alternator output (12 amp B&C) to main buss and a second relay to connect the alternator to the backup battery. I didn't use the suggested diodes and that's probably the reason I smoked my hand held radio one day when turning the master on and off several times with the engine running. I probably ought to correct that. At the bottom of the site are some links to other FANTASTIC sites on computers and macro photography. Check them out. Thanks again........ Larry Flesner
