Subject:Battery Saver Update
From:Tom Hargrave
Date:Fri, 5 Nov 2010 13:26:22 -0500

A while ago I asked for volunteers to test a battery saver I designed.

We spent part of this week building the prototypes and are testing today.
Once they past test we will waterproof the circuit and will ship out the
samples I promised.

They work great on the bench with up to a 12 amp load - the circuit turns
off the load when the battery voltage drops to 11 VDC then it turns back on
at 3.8 VDC.

Wiring is simple. Red to battery +, black to battery -, and white to
whatever you want to turn off when your battery drops to 11 VDC. Also, I
incorporated a 20 amp breaker - in other words you can use this in place of
a fuse.

All I ask is quality feedback from those I send samples to - I hope to ship
all of the samples out Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks, Tom
