I am going to build a 12V battery backup that will be connected to two MP60's and my Apex (just the 12V power to the Apex head unit). The goal is to keep oxygenation going for 24+ hours in my absence. Apparently the MP60's draw about 12W each at minimum speed. The Apex is 8W or less.
I believe everyone is connecting their equipment with a single common positive and a single common negative. But I noticed a lead-acid battery charger will reach 14-15 volts during charging, so the devices would also be seeing this increased voltage.
1. Does the charging voltage being over 12V cause any problems for the Apex or the Vortechs?
2. Does the Apex draw current through the 12V power supply if an EB8 is energized (normal conditions)? If yes, will this wear out my battery or my battery maintainer?
3. These are my tentative equipment choices. Thoughts?
