Hi all! Gary Thanks for the reply to my Email.
As you stated in the Email.
When the Battery is Under Load, the Battery Voltage Drops and the circuit shut off the load. With No Load the Voltage will RISE, Even if the battery is Not Being Charged. So it Will Turn the load on again Q. If I set it to shut off at 13.8 volts or higher, and the voltage on a fully charged Lead acid batt. is around 13.1 volts, I don`t see how it can turn back on with no Load. It will only turn on when the Alternator is charging over 13.8 volts. Please correct me if am wrong. Thank Brent.

Brent, If you set it That High, You will be OK.
In my Truck, I have it set for about 11 Volts shutdown, with a 5 Amp load on my Propane furnace. ** I am almost always running my furnace Without Running my truck.
When it shuts off, it still gives me enough battery power to start my truck.
See My Point?
In Your Situation with the vehicle running (Unless your Alternator Fails) Why do you need a shutoff like this? And without your vehicle running, you will drop below 13.1volts VERY QUICKLY.
