Battery Question

[BUDDYonRC at aol.com]

Pros and Cons regarding dual battery use.
I am presently installing two parallel power systems in an airplane that is 
using six Futaba Digital servos, four S9252's and two S9151 as well as one 
S9202 on throttle.
Because of the load requirements I have installed two 1700mah NiCad 4 cell 
packs complete with separate HD switches and wiring both plugged into the 
R149DP receiver.
Local club members say they are running this way with no problems. The system 
also includes an installed i4C on board volt meter to monitor system voltage. 
each battery can be checked separately by turning on one at a time and 
reading the voltage under load, voltage can also be checked with both systems 
on. Futaba states that these servo's are to be operated on 4.8 volts only and 
since I have never had a problem with four cell pack's that is what I have 
decided to use. 
Any comments or experience utilizing this type of hook up will be appreciated.
