N13.1 = switches to aux battery when car battery goes below 13.1
The device is marked N13.1, P10. Those are factory settings with this effect:<br>
P10 = shuts off when aux battery drops to 10V
'''N13.1''' = switches to aux battery when car electrical connection goes below 13.1<br>
'''P10''' = shuts off when aux battery drops to 10V
 
That means that even though I might have a live connection (always on) to the car, the battery will not be drawn down when the engine is shut off.

I got this device to implement a UPS in my car. Originally the car computer was going to be 8track. It will probably be powering my Kenwood mobile radio, a GPS receiver and a BeagleBoneBlack. I have to check the total draw, 10A might be too small.

The device is marked N13.1, P10. Those are factory settings with this effect:
N13.1 = switches to aux battery when car electrical connection goes below 13.1
P10 = shuts off when aux battery drops to 10V

That means that even though I might have a live connection (always on) to the car, the battery will not be drawn down when the engine is shut off.
