LVD switch

Jan 7, 2010

Cole Hersee’s SureStart Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) Switch 48513 electronically senses battery voltage and conserves starting power by disconnecting non-critical loads, prolonging battery life by preventing battery damage due to excessive discharge. Its service life exceeds 1,000,000 on/off cycles, the company says, and it has a manual override that allows users to connect or disconnect the switch when needed.
