Low-Voltage Disconnects

Using a low voltage disconnect relay helps prolong vehicle battery life by preventing a charge from draining while the vehicle is idle. Standard and compact relays made by Littelfuse allow users to remotely disconnect and reconnect battery loads. We can also supply the wiring harness assembly needed for connecting a battery to a disconnect relay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are low-voltage disconnects?

Low-voltage disconnects automatically disconnect electronic components, such as stereos and computers, from a vehicle's battery every time the vehicle is shut off, which lengthens the storage life of the battery.

How do low-voltage disconnects work?

Low-voltage disconnects sense the voltage of a vehicle's battery. When the voltage drops below a set point, the device automatically disconnects the battery from connected loads.
