Hey Stone, correct me if I'm wrong in my thinking on this, but there is something that has been sort of bugging me since i read this post a while ago: instead of using a manual switch like you did, couldn't a person instead use a relay and hook the wire up to the normally open leads like you did with the switch and then when you turned the key to the run position, it would close the relay and complete that circuit, switching over to battery equalization instead of 12 volt conversion. This would just require one extra wire off the ignition on circuit to switch the relay. I would use 24 v to avoid any possible goofyness when switching the 12 v source.
That way one wouldn't have to remember to switch the switch to equalization when driving or back off when not using the vehicle for a long duration. Just a thought, but would like someone else's opinion on this.
And how bout puting "24 volt electrics" as a topic in the FAQ section? I know it messed up my mind initially when looking into the cruiser world. This post is certainly helpful in setting up a no brainer solar converter system. Again, just a thought...
