Either way we shouldn't discharge car batteries below 11 volts. How do we prevent that? What is the simples/cheapest low voltage cut-off circuit? | Either way we shouldn't discharge car batteries below 11 volts. How do we prevent that? What is the simples/cheapest low voltage cut-off circuit? | ||
Twisted_Haywire has some ideas for super simple circuits. Another option is to use a voltage comparator + divider + mosfet. You can get cheap comparators for $1 or less on ebay/aliexpress. | |||
