Questions & Answers
The unit will be blown if you connect 24 volts to it, and you'll have to replace it.
It must be connected at all times; you can do this by installing a switch and flipping it every time; otherwise, the battery will be drained. I'm not sure if there are any other side effects, so if you used a fluke meter and found the draw was less than 20ma, you could probably leave it connected, but it would probably fail early.
Selected User Reviews For OTC 3386 Antizap Auto Surge Protector - 12 V
The converter locking and unlocking drove me insane, especially when I turned on the headlights or the air conditioner and the alternator began to change. It took me a while to figure out that it was caused by an electrical surge. I went to Amazon to see if a 12 volt DC surge protector could be found, and there it was. It arrived early, so I connected it to the battery and took it for a test drive, where the transmission shifted flawlessly for the first time. Now I'm going to establish a long-term positive relationship. Love it.
I spent my entire working career as a certified auto/truck technician, and I used the OTC Antizap to protect sensitive electronic circuits on vehicles during welding processes on numerous occasions. br>Now that I'm retired and still do some side work, and I don't have access to my former employer's equipment, I felt compelled to buy my own. Considering how much damage a modern computer-controlled vehicle can sustain during welding procedures, this tool is well worth the money.
I've been using antizap in truck construction for a long time. This small tool does a lot of work when it comes to protecting the wiring. Time and money are both saved.
It's a fantastic product that I would recommend to anyone who uses a spot welder to protect electronic components. Everyone should read it, in my opinion.
It's a great product with a simple set-up and purchase.
Although I'm not convinced that this has any effect, it does make my customers feel better.
Purchased as a backup in case we forget to remove the vehicle.
It performs as expected.
