About this item
- This is a under-voltage switch module used to turn off the power of load in the event of the voltage dropping below a set value
- When the battery voltage increases to a set value, the module will automatically turn on load again
- Designed with a LED indicator to show if load is cut off or turned on
- Both turn-off and turn-on voltage value can be adjusted by simply adjusting potentiometer
- This protection board will help you to protect battery from over-discharging and prolong battery life

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the performance of the power converter, saying it works well and is great for low battery detection. They also say it shuts down before the battery dies. However, some customers report issues with the adjustability, saying the converter does not come adjusted to any reasonable threshold levels and needs special tuning. Opinions are mixed on ease of use.

Haven't played with the pots yet - have it hooked up to a solar fountain with a small battery bank. Unit won't turn on unless I hit the "Mandatory switch". Unit then runs until it hits low voltage threshold though. I'm wondering if I can adjust one of the pots to get it to turn on without the switch - that was the impression I was given when I bought it... if I have to hit the button every time to start it, then it isn't terribly useful.
Would be really nice if the pots where labeled at the least. Even better would have been a small bit of documentation. But I guess you get what you pay for.
*Edit*
The PCB is marked for the pots. While trying to adjust - unit sparked, won't turn off (always on when battery voltage is applied), but no voltage out output terminals. Lasted a grand total of 36 hours, never was able to get it working right.
What I don't like about this is that there is no delay when it reaches it cut-off voltage. When I connect a device there is a quick sudden drop in voltage for a split moment before it go back to normal, it cuts off quickly in that sudden drop, for example, the Protection Board Module is set to switch off at 11.7 volts while the supply voltage is 12.6 volts, I switch on an inverter and the voltages drops to 11.6 for half a second and goes back to 12.6 volts before the average voltmeter can read it. This Protection Board Module seems as though it disconnected prematurely. It works as it should but there should be a delay for a second or 2 just in case the set cut-off voltage is temporary.

1) The disconnect and reconnect voltages are adjusted by the two potentiometers on the board. Most others have dip switches that force you to use a set of predetermined disconnect and reconnect voltages. Others had no adjustment at all.
2) No voltage display. While I like seeing the voltage I'm planning to put this unit behind my lower kick panel where my wires from the fridge come into the fuse box. So no real reason for the display. That and that display uses more power which will create a larger drain on the battery when the engine is off for no real reason.
3) This unit has an override capability. If you connect the two pins on the board inside the white connector it will override the disconnect/reconnect logic and connect the load. Could be useful for some. I haven't decided if I will use it or not since I don't see a situation where I would want to continue depleting the battery below my disconnect voltage. The type of connector needed is in one of the description photos. I ended up ordering one from digikey.
Next step is to protect the circuit board from grounding out on anything behind the kick panel. I'm debating getting a small plastic enclosure, but I haven't found any that seem like a good fit. The unit is actually very compact. I may just spray a heavy urethane coating on it, and call it good.

Un fois ajustés (voltage ON autour de 13V, voltage OFF autour de 10V) le relais fonctionne très bien.
