    It depends on how the battles are wired.

    If the battles are wired in series (think train cars) it increases the voltage of The circuit. Which means if the electronics require the higher voltage this may not work well, if at all.

    If the batteries are wired in parallel then this is basically half a fuel tank.














  • I’ve put a few smart lights/switches/sensors/power points in at home. Definitely helps mum as we can have wireless switches for the lights, and motion sensors to turn the hallway lights on automatically as well.

    For ALL of them, I make sure there is a manual control that will work as a backup regardless. Even if a smart light is “off” due to the motion sensor not detecting movement, all you need to do is turn the old regular light switch off then back on and the light will default to being back on.
