When a certain machine’s engine is off but the ignition is still at the on position, the lights, screens etc. still work. There is nothing wrong with that, the problem is when the lights is left on too long, the batteries gets flat and it takes a lot of effort and time to boost the batteries for starting the machine. I need to think of a way to prevent this from happening. Does someone have an idea? I have included a sketch of how the batteries are currently connected. My thought was to disconnect battery set A and B with contactors, when the machines engine is off (when no excitation signal is picked up) , and when it gets the start signal the contactors close and the one set of batteries boosts the other. Will this work? Please help.
