Subject:      Battery Saver Update
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

A while ago I asked for volunteers to test a battery saver I designed.

We spent part of this week building the prototypes and are testing today. Once they past test we will waterproof the circuit and will ship out the samples I promised.

They work great on the bench with up to a 12 amp load - the circuit turns off the load when the battery voltage drops to 11 VDC then it turns back on at 3.8 VDC.

Wiring is simple. Red to battery +, black to battery -, and white to whatever you want to turn off when your battery drops to 11 VDC. Also, I incorporated a 20 amp breaker - in other words you can use this in place of a fuse.

All I ask is quality feedback from those I send samples to - I hope to ship all of the samples out Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks, Tom
