Subject:Solar Panel: Battery Switching Diagram Check?

Hi all.

Am finally getting around to designing a solar panel system. I'll
likely go with a 150 Watt panel and simple single battery PWM
controller.

My #1 aux. battery sees low use. But. In the event it gets too low.....

Can anyone see anything wrong with this switching arrangement? Here's
a flow diagram:

I'd use this type of switch:

Or maybe I'd be better of installing a dual battery controller?

Thanks,

Neil.
