MP3Car.com - View Single Post - Opus 150 Causing Drain or Bad Battery? Maybe 5vsb Issue?

Do you know if the Opus protection circuit will work when the PC is in standby?

I'm also considering a solar charger in the passenger site t-top panel. I wonder if it will work well through the tint?

I'm also looking for a battery saving device. I haven't seen one in years, but they attach to the battery and monitor the voltage. They are like a smart circuit breaker. If it kicks in and cuts power to the car while in standby I think it will be OK as WN XP is pretty robust. Hopefully it won't be very often if at all. Anyone seen these devices?

BTW, I went through 3 of the M2's and they all had something wrong with them. I finally went with the opus 150 and it fired up the first time and has been perfect. The only other choice I see would be the DSATX 220 Watt. Anyone know if it has the low voltage protection when off?
