Is there such a device as a voltage sensitive alarm?
Permalink  

Hi all, I know that's probably sounding dumb, but I've been away from the trade for an age, so forgive me. 

Im looking for an alarm that will sound when the battery voltage reaches a preset voltage. If anyone has any clue, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Yes they are available Phil.There is one in the boot of my van to monitor the battery.It is adjustable..has about 4 settings from memory and sets up a buzzing sound when the battery drops to the preselected voltage.Try Caravans Plus or RVparts express. Cheers Ian

Phil,

this one comes with multiple programmable alarm features, but it is probably more than you want.
