Multiple power sources?

Unless both of the power sources are designed to have external power applied to their outputs continuously (extremely rare) then in the long run one or both may die prematurely. You can isolate them from each other’s output by using a high current diode in series with the positive lead of each sources output. The diodes will ensure that current won’t flow backwards into either of the sources and will automatically switch between sources.
