I have (finally) made a proper PCB and am offering an LVD / battery saver kit.

This is based on the Custom Arduino-based LVD, but incorporates a 60A N-channel MOSFET. For simplicity's sake, this has a single MOSFET for switching on the ground side. While the components are rated high, it's probably best for relatively low draw (~5A). For high-draw components you can easily use the LVD to fire an automotive electromechanical relay and drive as much current as you like!

Type

This LVD project is offered as a "solder-it-yourself" kit, with all components needed to install it:

  • The LVD PCB
  • all required components
  • programmed ATtiny85
  • 3 terminal lugs & 3 nuts/bolts
  • an attractive heat-shrink cover
  • magic calibration tool

The "plug-n-play" version is all of the above PLUS I solder it up, test, and calibrate. You just plug it in to your application. Shipping now!

All of the above is "open" (open source, open hardware) -- you may download and modify my designs, or order and build them yourself, for noncommercial purposes. I ask that you maintain my copyright, and please let me know if you use the project for something cool.

Usage and setup instructions are here!
