KickAss Low Voltage Disconnect – Plug & Play Battery Protection

Safeguard your batteries from over-discharge with this easy-to-use Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD). Designed with Anderson-style connectors, it requires no hardwiring—just plug in and you’re ready to go.

The LVD supplies power to your devices while monitoring battery voltage. An LED indicator displays your battery’s state of charge. When voltage drops to 11V, the device disconnects the load to prevent deep discharge, and only reconnects once voltage climbs back to 13V.

3 Operating Modes:

• Normal: Disconnects at 11V with a 60-second warning alarm; reconnects at 13V.

• Alarm Mute: Same as Normal Mode but silences the warning alarm.

• Override: Bypasses voltage sensing for direct power—use only in emergencies.

The KickAss LVD cuts out the load at 11 volts after a 60-second delay to protect your 12V battery from over-discharge, reconnecting only when the battery voltage rises to 13 volts or above. This prevents deep discharge and extends battery life. The device also sounds a 60-second alarm at 11 volts to alert you before disconnecting.

Yes, the KickAss LVD uses Anderson style plugs for both input and output, allowing quick and secure connections without fuss. It also includes side moulded mounting holes for firm installation and weighs just 0.35kg, making it lightweight and easy to fit in tight spaces.

The LED shows different colours and flashing patterns based on battery voltage: solid green above 12.8V, flashing green/red between 12.8V and 12.2V, and flashing red with increasing frequency as voltage drops to 11V or below. When disconnected, the LED turns off.

The 3-way switch offers Normal Operation (automatic disconnect at 11V), Alarm Mute (same as Normal but silences the alarm), and Override (bypasses voltage protection to connect load regardless of battery voltage). Override should only be used in emergencies.

Absolutely. The LVD operates reliably between 0°C and 50°C, suitable for most Australian environments. It includes built-in protections like a 50A fuse recommendation and secure mounting options to ensure safe, stable operation during your off-grid adventures.

The LVD supports a maximum input and output current of 50 amps, making it ideal for a wide range of 12V DC systems and loads commonly found in off-grid and adventure setups.

When the battery voltage drops to 11 volts, the LVD sounds a warning alarm for 60 seconds before disconnecting the load. The alarm frequency increases as voltage falls, and the LED flashes red to visually indicate low voltage status.

Yes, the Alarm Mute setting on the 3-way switch disables the low voltage alarm sound while maintaining the LVD’s automatic disconnect function at 11 volts. The LED status continues to provide visual alerts.
