Please don't comment about something you don't know about, it's an irresponsible thing to do. A better way to handle this would be to ask "how does this operate safely in a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission? And I would've answered. This kit is 100% compatible with manual transmissions.

Neutral safety switch check?

So, it will only work if your manual transmission is in neutral? And if you leave it in gear, your battery dies?

I never park my jeep in gear anyway so it wouldn't be a problem for me. My wife does whenever she drives it but she is never out using the battery with the jeep parked.

Vehicle must be in neutral with the brake engaged. When the key is removed, it will run a 2 second test in which the engine will run. If the test fails, it will not start that cycle. The battery will still be monitored and the audible alert will still activate but active charging will not engage until the vehicle is started with the key and it passes the next test. Operator must put the vehicle into test mode before shutting down (push button). No matter what, the battery is being monitored and can even be configured to disconnect the accessories (like a fridge) that are causing a drain below threshold. So even if the operator forgets to activate the test, he is still protected from being stranded.

People with auto trans do not have to do anything special... it's the nature of the beast.

Since we're all responsible rig owners who pass safety, I am sure every has a good parking brake. :cool:

Once Davy gets a new fridge, he's going to let me take it apart so I can identify how it's low voltage cut-off works. I have an idea that we could activate the starter through the fridge's cut-off which in the case of the ARB, would give you 3 choices of batt protection on the fly... it's going to be totally expo.

Exposition in a box? Exposure in a box? Exhibition in a box?

Oh, you mean Expedition Portal in a box.

And for the ne'er-do-wells that wondered into this thread, the product does not have a name yet. If you were expo, you'd understand. :p
