Dual Gauge prevents deep battery discharge.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:37:17 -0500

By preventing battery from dipping below specified state of charge, Battery Discharge Indicator and Hour Meter Dual Gauge helps optimize battery life. Lockout gauge version uses internal relay to shutdown battery, while lift-lockout version allows lift equipment to cycle down to bottom of range before locking out of battery. Both fully sealed units prevent operator from continuing to use equipment once battery reaches OEM-specified state of charge.
