will this work in a dc automotive circuit to protect the car battery?

No. It cannot handle high current, and it will not function without the AC power (it can't run on the 12V DC battery by itself).

This is a 12 volt switch I used it to install my fog light in my truck I believe it would work for any circuit of 12 volt or less voltage

Can this timer be used with. a12volt, automotive battery, to control 12volt led light strips, on a mobile display sign?

the unit is low voltage (a transformer is provided with the unit to convert AC to DC), is rack mounted and designed for recording and live sound. so, it would be a stretch to make it work. I do not know what DC voltage the unit runs on nor do i know if the voltage dips and spikes experienced in a car would damage or impeded the performance of the unit.

Maybe! I had to buy a transformer for home use. Not sure with DC of a boat battery. Good Luck.

Wellll, Yes it can, but you don't want to do it.Google and instructables dot com would be your friends here. At a high level the steps are:1. Identify + and - connections on battery.2. Break open battery case (preferably a dead one).3. Remove batteries.4. Add wires to battery contacts.5. Connect wire to a 12 volt DC power supply with 'enough' amps, or to your car battery (better watch that polarity!)But given the fact that a new battery is around 35 bucks - it aint worth doing.

Oh, whoops. I used mine while the engine was running with no problems. My 12-volt ports aren't powered unless my car is at least in accessory mode.If you're really afraid of your battery dying, you're probably ok using it with your car on. Just wait until your car is started before plugging it in (to prevent a surge) and make sure your parking brake is engaged.

If I understand your question correctly, no. If your car battery is really old and totally bad and incapable of holding a charge, I don't think this will work. It works great for a still good battery that has drained down due to leaving something on or something of that nature.

Yes it could work for that though it might be a bit big to fit neatly it will handle 3 A at 125 V ad so in theory it would handle 30A at 12V AC so id say up to a 15A load at 12V DC should be fine power wise. Me personally I'd likely opt for a toggle switch I cloud easily mount through the dash

Yes. This will insulate the connection, allow the current to flow if the terminal connection is slightly loose, and protect the terminals from corrosion and water intrusion. I would however recommend this more for the outside of the terminal after the wire has been attached to the battery. A clean metal to metal connection without anything between the terminal and the wire is preferred.

Yes. It will only keep you from disconnecting if it detects the engine running, which you want because a running engine without battery could overvoltage and cause problems.

Yes. This converter will work for that & many other things. I use it frequently. Super handy for testing other DC gadgets without having to go to your car as well.

I can tell you that they provide a 30 AMP fuse to protect the circuit. Hope that helps!

Can be used on any automotive current up to 24 v i have used it on my 6v system on a ford just remember to take your power from the 6 v sorce rather then the 12!

It can be used for that if you keep the ignition switch in "acc" position. However, be careful not to let the + terminal disconnected under the hood touch ground because that will short out this battery connection that you've made.

Yes..... I guess if you had an 12VDC to 110VAC inverter and a car battery....

It could work if it is small enough for your autos dash, or back window sill, or hung on a window some how.If some of it's efficiency is backlost, i don't know. I do know trickle chargers for car batteries are made to lay on the dash in the sunlight. My unit did not function for what ever reason, so I sent it back. I liked the design and huge connectors.
