Review on CZH LABS Electronics Salon Voltage Disconnect Protect by Deron Altman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Has worked as it should. Great product for the price!

I bought this as a protective cutout for a solar panel I made. Since the cheap solar regulators that come with many solar panels can only handle 10A, I needed something more powerful (I used two box fans for Burning Man that would only draw 19A) and this fitted perfectly. I wanted something that would shut down my DC inverter if the battery level falls below 11.7V (shutoff is adjustable but after some research it seems you don't want to go below 11.4-11.7V). lead-acid battery as this can cause damage). I hooked this up to a digital voltmeter, both mounted in the project case and ended up with a very solid PCM. Once the solar panel charged the battery up to 12V (again the turn on voltage is adjustable) this PCM turned my inverter back on. I will 100% buy this product again for other solar projects that may come my way.
