ALARM!

interesting, thanks

11.32V Low setting ?

Adjustable?

Looks useful.

For $15, I'm sure not adjustable.

Also ships from China; might take a while.

I'll buy it for the high alarm alone. I have an adjustable low voltage alarm.

Sure, set it for 16.05V and when you hit that, turn everything off, you'v just equalize charged your batteries. Might wake you up from under that sombrero during your afternoon siesta, but at least you won't cook the batteries, or roast the lead plates in them.

Mex do you know of one for AC that is adjustable? Or one that would cut of power with in the set voltage range?

I think during daytime siesta his solar controller is taking care of that, switching to 13.7V after it stayed at 15V for one hour. Most of them do.

Trade winds gently swinging the hammock. My NOOK has fallen flat against my chest. Lobster and Rice Pilaf for dinner. With seafood I enjoy a nearly frozen Negro Leon from Yucatan. With a twist of limon. High temp in the eighties today. A made-from-scratch coconut cream pie for dessert.

Any important spurious event is on a timer. I finally dropped the float to 13.22 for the Lifeline. Going to rig up another 5-amp floater for the toad and mount it permanently under the hood. With a hybrid starting battery (lead calcium oxide) negative plates, around 13.5 volts otter be perfect in these temps.

Upcoming chore: purchase 2-more Tenergy D cell NiMH batteries and holders and graft it onto my handy-dandy 190-LED floodlight. Should render 14-hours of very brighy light. Daylight is burning - gotta snooze...
