Review on Efficient Power Control: Voswitch UV100 8 Gang Programmable Switch Panel For Truck, UTV, Boat And 12V Battery Use by Tristan Graham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Drains battery! Parasitic Draw! Beware.

The availability to turn on the unit ONLY after turning the key to ACC is definitely flawed (not the low voltage cut off I think). It will drain your battery whether or not you flip the switch on or off. The unit will continue getting power regardless and voltage drop reading will be the same. The voltage drop will actually decrease to 0.2V (0.006V drain) if you disconnect the thin red trigger wire or the button box inside the vehicle. WHY CANT IT DROP TO 0.2V (0.006V drain) when the trigger wire to ACC is installed? Who knows. I believe I may have a faulty unit. I understand there must be a tiny amount old voltage drain for the unit to retain the memory settings, but c’mon. The unit should not be powered at all with a trigger wire installed. If I wanted it to be powered I wouldn’t have connected the trigger wire (will draw current regardless of wether it is connected or not).I was incredibly exited for this, but after quad checking my entire vehicle, I realized that this unit is draining my vehicle. I’m honestly incredibly disappointed in the product.Reasoning: Power Probe and Multimeter diagnostic. Voltage drop test results on a 0.6V, which translates to 18mV or 0.018V. Enough to slowly drain your battery in about a week or two weeks.Solution? You’ll need to constantly charge your battery, and who wants to do that? No one. It can probably be solved by installing a bigger battery for your vehicle to gain cold cranking amps. I already have the best possible battery for my vehicle. The only solution for me is to switch from a 51R to a 24F or constantly charge my battery. Ridiculous.
