[QUOTE="creationblue, post: 639071, member: 1093"] The specifications say the relay energizes @ 13.3v meaning current will flow from the alternator to the main battery, through the Durite to the LB then at 12.65V the relay opens thus cutting off the main battery from the LB allowing you to use it without draining the starter battery. So, the alternator will pump out 14.4v when your engine is running and I find both my batteries are over 13volts after switching my engine off. The main battery will settle down to about 12.7v meaning the relay on the Durite will stay energized for a while before opening the circuit. My conclusion is that the Durite is faulty [/QUOTE]
