No More Dead Batteries
I just got a volt-minder and tested it in the shop to night and it works very well. You set the voltage you want for a low setting then if the voltage drops to that set point and stays there for 25 s...

What the OP posted was a monitor. It has nothing to do with putting amps back in the battery. You set the Minder for what ever low voltage you want, say 10.5 the when the battery drops down to that the alarm will function. It will also give you a reading of how many volts are being supplied to the battery or system.
I have been using one for the battery I have mounted in the engine compartment of my truck. That battery is on a separate system then my house battery,s and not connected to my Trimetric.
When I use it I can look through the pass through window and I can determine if the battery has dropped below the set voltage.
Well to each his own.
You state the obvious.
I already have a battery monitor, one that was chosen because it does not draw current.
The Honda generator backs up the onboard propane genny and the spare portable battery is just for good measure.
Personally, I'd rather have another battery/tender for the money - for the tractor, the mower, scooter, etc. etc.
I guess when the need arises, a monitor of that sort might be useful.
