I'm looking for a Battery Saver/Drainage Protector. I've seen some good ones out there like the Charge Guard and the Power Tamer and a few others, but I haven't found one yet that has exactly what I'm looking for. Suggestions would be appreciated.

For some reason the server is being retarded.

I want one that has Low Voltage shut off, Time out, a master on/off switch, and waterproof. Hopefully not terribly $$$ either.

the charge guard has low voltage shut down, low voltage override that gives you 15 extra minutes of power after low voltage shutdown by pressing a button. it automatically senses the rise in voltage when you turn on the ignition and viseversa to start time out (no ignition wire needed). you could hook up a relay at the power imput wire but it probably isnt nessessary ( application specific ?)

It is not waterproof but it should be mounted inside the cab anyway. Im sure you could put the unit in a pelican case or similar h2o proof box and mount it extermally though.

$70 +/- = not bad

dead battery= stranded and pissed off Laughing

I know. I want something waterproof though or solid state. I don't have a lot of room to put stuff in a regular cab pickup and I would rather have it under the hood.
