You are still only reading the regulator output from one of the
lipos and both outputs would have to be the same. <br>
Ed is saying the single regulator dual outputs are not independent
as they would be if you used two tech-aero or jaccio regulators.<br>
Sounds like a good system to have on a smaller cheaper aircraft than
our 2 meter pattern planes. Gives you redundant batteries but not
redundant power systems. You are now reliant on a single point of
failure 14 dollar regulator. <br>

I wonder why I measure different voltages when I
switch on the two 2S lipo batteries at different
times. If it had a single regulator, I would think
the output voltage would be the same, no matter
which battery was chosen.

regulator/switch which allows you to
hook up two lipo batteries and have
them separately regulated to 5.9 volts
and use one or both of the outputs.
Look here:
