I was thinking high isolation with the DPDT.

Ain';t nothing wrong with that!

Answer Number 1:

Certainly harder than remembering to change your batteries.

Answer Number 2:

Too hard to justify adding a backup battery that doesn't provide enough
current for the thing to work anyway.

Answer Number 3:

Certainly harder than using lithium batteries, which which probably still
work by the time you manage to break something in your HALO.


Now, that said, the easiest thing to do is probably to splice/solder in an
extra 9V battery connector to the existing battery connector, and cut a
notch in the battery housing cover which allows the battery connector to
hang outside the battery housing. Carry 9V in pocket. When HALO fails,
attach 9V to clip. Your HALO may even work with the remaining power from
the 6 AA's.


Of course, there's my solution - I have cut out the back plastic panel
from my warp feed, and have 8 1.2 volt high drain digital camera batteries
feeding both my warp and halo. Recharge batteries after day of play and
there's no way you run out of power. (Actually, could probably go 4-5
days of play or more, but no reason to.) You may be able to just use 6
1.2 V batteries in the HALO, as current (which these suckers provide a lot
of) seems to be the limitting factor with the HALO over voltage, but I'm
not sure that 7.2 volts is enough to drive the HALO.


Also note that you can put up to 12 volts (maybe more, but I know 12 is
safe) into the HALO without any trouble, it's got a regulator that brings
the voltage down to whatever it uses. If it's a stock part, it can
probably handle and input of up to 30 volts before oyu fry the regulator.
