REVO II install idea.

Electronics Power and Sound
#1

Here’s the setup: two Dash 9s, each with its own REVO II. One 18.6 v 6 amp battery, because I’m cheap thrifty, one mu cable. Can I use this consist, running two Dash 9s, two REVO IIs from one battery, without releasing the magic smoke? Have I overlooked something? The one battery would be aboard one of the locos.

It should work just fine. It’s the same as using two revo’s with track power. The Revo knows not where the power comes from!

Thanks, Joe.

That sure ain’t being cheap, Steve… That’s right smart. With the cost of a 18.6v 6 amp battery, yup, that’s right smart… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

You can “play” with the MU settings and get the -9’s to run very nicely together…
