That product is made by the 'BATTERY BRAIN" people in the United
States. It is the only Model (1 of 4) that is imported into Canada by
the only licensed importer for Canada. (Canadian Tire)
        It is the Type II  or Type III  model. They ALL cut out at
11.7 Volts except "TYPE IV RV"
which cuts out at 10.5 Volts.

Another source is http://www.12volt.com.au/  from Australia. Go to
the bottom of the side menu under 'Meters' and click on "Panel
Meters' and it's at the bottom of the page. "Low Voltage CutOut"
The price is about the same and he said he would sell and ship to
America but has since gone silent to further requests.

Alternatively there is a "Do it yourself kit" here

or a ready made kit for $5.00 that can be adapted here
