Does anyone have simple solution to have the house battery cut out when it get drawn down 50% or so?

Really I just want to cut out the circut my electric (wolfburg weekender fridge, not full westy fridge) fridge is on. The battery uses the factory relay for chraging but I've added a separate fuse block and wired up all my "house" equipment to it. There are about 6 fuses between stereo, amplifiers, lights, fridge (factory 12v socket under passnegers seat) etc... Anyway I want to be able to leave my fridge plugged in and just let it draw the battery down and the automatically cut out before harming the battery... Leaving it plug in that way in the past killed my last optima by over discharging it too many times.

Just looking for the most simple solution...

Thanks, Jon
