Funny guy. :) Of course I only run the batts down to when the truck slows down. But I've read that if you fully discharge to the max safe value, and then recharge them, you get a better charge and performance.
Making a voltage cutoff add-on to the light tree would be extremely simple. However, it doesn't solve the uneven discharge rate the light tree offers at various states of battery discharge. Besides, making a solid state one would have adjustable cell counts, discharge currents, be more durable, and just simply cool. :)
I can post the schematic if there are any electronics-minded people here. Maybe I could get some feedback on the design?
