ABSTRACT:
A low battery voltage detection and warning system connected to sense a voltage charge of a power source within a vehicle such as the vehicle battery. The low battery voltage detection and warning system includes a voltage sensor connected to the power source for sensing a voltage value of the power source and a processing device connected to the voltage sensor for comparing the sensed voltage value to a reference value and determining if the sensed voltage value is less than the reference value. An alarm is connected to the processing device for generating an alarm upon a determination by the processing device that the sensed voltage value is less than the reference value. The alarm may produce at least one of an audible and visual alarm to alert the operator of the vehicle that the battery voltage is low and should be checked. The determination that the battery voltage is low indicates that the vehicle will only start a few more times before the battery is charged to a value too small to start the vehicle.
