Cyrix product improvement

I like the Cyrix, a very effective and simple product. May I suggest that the 30 sec connect wire for emerg starter battery boost have more intelligence to make it more versatile, in particular....

Connect to a double throw 3 position switch to enable the following operating modes:

+12V: Cyrix closes for starter battery boost

Open cct: Cyrix operates normally

Gnd: Cyrix never operates, ie. disabled

Sometimes it is handy not to load the alternator with house battery charging because of other parallel loads, so it would be good to be able to disable the Cyrix at the flick of the switch.

Hi @John Schmidt

You can do this by disconnecting the ground wire to the cyrix, so a switch in this line will give you the functionality you are looking for.
