Blue Sea Relay activation Voltage
Hi,
Does anyone know what voltage the blue sea 500A relay connects the batteries together at?

I have installed mine and when i leave it in auto on the switch the red lights are still on the next day after leaving it prked overnight, i can only assume the voltage of the batteries are remaining above the relay cutout threshold.
Thanks

thanks for the replies, i measured the battery voltages and they are 12.87 and 13v with the engine off... i guess i need some load on the battery then to bring the voltage down enough for the relay to disconnect the batteries.
