12 or 24V, 125A at 60ºC, 100A at 85ºC

Electronically senses battery voltage and conserves starting power. Automatically disconnects and reconnects loads based on battery condition; no operator action is required to protect the batteries. Prolongs battery life by preventing damage due to excessive discharge.

Eliminates the need for both separate timer or voltage sensing delay relay devices and high current relay or solenoid, and simplifies wiring and installation. Small size and lightweight design means easier and more discrete mounting, to use space more efficiently, eliminate hardware, and give better routing of wires.

When battery voltage falls below programmed voltage setting for 2 minutes non-critical loads are automatically disconnected. Waterproof and dustproof to IP67 international standard.

(Submersible to 3 feet.) Sealed connector makes it ideal for harsh environments. Advanced technology enables a robust product in a small lightweight package. Programmable timer feature automatically disconnects loads after key off, regardless of battery condition. 12804 Harness fits this LVD.

SureStartTM Automatic Low Voltage Disconnect Switch

Ensures ample starting capacity and prolongs battery life. Automatically disconnects non-critical loads from a battery when the battery voltage falls below a predefined threshold. Automatically reconnects the loads to the battery when it is being charged. Manual override permits a user to make or break the connection, regardless of battery voltage. Overcurrent, short-circuit and over-temperature protection.

48510 200A at 12V DC

48512 150A at 12V DC

No more stranded vehicles! Avoid the time and expense of getting your vehicles towed. The SureStartTM LVD ensures there’s enough power to start, and saves the batteries on vehicles that aren’t used every day.
