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...

Mine is an electro-mechanical solenoid that snaps over and disconnects itself from the battery until you push the button the other way.
Think it is called a Fat Boy.
I have a manual disconnect switch. I'm looking for an automatic relay that will shut off the battery if it gets too low (preferably adjustable, probably at ~10.5V).
Mine is controlled by a board that does just that..
Intelletic I believe is the brand.
Be honest that 10 volts is way too low. 12.2 volts is 50% discharged. That is the best time to recharge.
I am not aware of any RV OEM product that will disconnect the 12 volt batteries when the voltage gets low. Once the voltage drops below 11 volts, you have lost any chance of recovery. then the batteries go completely dead. You seem to indicate from your post that you have a system that when the batteries reach a pre-determined voltage the battery disconnect shuts down. Not so, and Intellitec does not make such a system. Once the batteries reach 10.5 or 11.5, what is the point of shutting the battery system OFF?????? Doug
