Patent

CA 2003233

A safety device is wired in series with selected accessories in a wiring circuit for a vehicle. A starter motor is wired in parallel with the accessories so that the starter motor bypasses the safety device. The safety device includes a voltmeter which can detect a predetermined minimum battery voltage, and a circuit breaker which interrupts current to the selected accessories after a predetermined time period if the predetermined minimum voltage is reached. When the engine is running, the breaker is disabled to prevent inadvertent interruption of current to the selected accessories. If desired, a manual override switch can be used to bypass the voltmeter and breaker to insure a current supply to the selected accessories in emergency situations. In another embodiment, a programmed microprocessor activates electronic switches to disconnect the battery.
