Logic of an Andy

Last summer: “I have so much battery capacity, I’ll go ahead and remove the under voltage reset switch. On the rare chance the voltage dips and I need a reset I’ll just start the truck.”

This autumn: “Darn, in the cold, pulling heavy electrical loads on these long nights the voltage sometimes dips below 12.1 temporarily. Not because the charge is dangerously low but the load is high and the battery is cold. Sure would nice if I could just manually reset the voltage disconnect. So I reinstalled the switch.”
