Battery Question: Combine my batteries?
I've always run 1 of my 2 12V at a time so that if I ran down the 1 I would have a back up. I've never combined them because I've worried I would run them both down and not have a back up. So, wha...

Yes, with Peukert Effect you get more AH out of the pair together than using them one at a time.
When you get home, separate them and charge each one to full baseline SG. You can then Float them separately if you have two Float controllers or chargers, or connect them back up and Float them together. Just don't try to recharge them together to 100% as one won't get that high if they are not identical.
While camping it is ok to recharge them together since you will only be doing 50-80s or 50-90s anyway so who cares if one gets to 91% and the other to 89%?
BTW, never heard of Launch and "Retrieve" You "Recover" your aircraft :)
