Low Voltage Disconnect
Has anyone put a low voltage disconnect on their battery? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BEA5NPW/ref=dra_a_cs_mr_hn_it_P1400_1000 I'd like to find one that's rated for a much lower amperage and use...

The spec sheet for your intended purchase specifies a disconnect adjustable to 12.0 vdc. However at that setting or any other, the device only reconnects when voltage has recovered to 1.0 volt or greater higher than the trip voltage. Are you sure this is what you want?
The one I linked to is adjustable from 10.5-12.
If I set the disconnect at 11.25, it would re-engage at 12.25. This would be perfect. I'm looking for something that will save my batteries from over-discharge.
The converter/charger would be connected on the battery side of the solenoid and the loads (breaker panel) would be disconnected when the voltage is too low. The solenoid would re-engage (automatically) as soon as the converter/charger is powered up by either generator or shore power.
