Jake - I had to smile at a memory that this post brought back. Darryl Tinnerstet had one of these installed in BLWNAWY many years ago when he had that car. We were in a St. Patrick's Day parade in downtown Seattle, which is half uphill, and the rest is downhill. Darryl decided to shut the engine off and coast when we got to the downhill portion. We have our flashers on, and doors up during the parades, so there is a steady power drain. He was coasting along, and all power left his car. Right then, we leveled out a bit, and his car stopped rolling. He was all knees and elbows trying to get into the battery compartment to reset the switch before he got run over by the car behind him. What a hoot!

It automatically monitors your battery voltage, and when it senses a drain for too long, it shuts the battery off. > > What's nice is that is also protects you against leaving your lights on, doors open, etc. etc. It will always leave you enough juice to start the car. If it trips, you just hit reset and fire that mother up. > ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
