My idea is the following ;
The car does not have a warning signal to tell me I have left on the lights when I turn off the ignition. In multiple occasions I have returned to a car with a dead battery.
Annoying as this problem is I want to build a circuit which will detect the current on my battery and kill the power to all "current-using" components. I would like the switch off the power when my battery goes below 12volts. In order to prevent the circuit from swichting on and off at the 12V border I would like to use a regulator for the current ( for example : L78L061Z ) so I can run everything on 6volt ( hysteresis window ).
I have a very limited knowledge of electronics and I was wondering if someone here could give me some tips or a drawing of a circuitboard ( maybe in microcap, etc.. )
Please excuse me for the mistakes in this post since I do not master the English language completely )
Kind regards
Tim
