I have read this comment repeatedly here and elsewhere.....12v.
Does this means 12.0v or < 12.60v which is considered to be an acceptable battery volt. reading at rest and after the car has been off for approx. 8 hrs.
If my MBs open circuit volt. reading was 12.0v, the starter wouldn't turn, let alone start the car. Once my OCV reading gets to around 12.15v to 12.20v, it's all over.
It would be interesting to know at
exactly what volt. reading this thing wakes up?

Time for an update - I should have simply done this earlier. I contacted the company that makes PS and asked at what volt. the device deactivated the battery. Here's the reply I got.
*****************************************************************************************
It deactivates at 11.7 Volts. We have thousands of PriorityStarts! sold and this factory setting has not been a problem.
Usually, after the PriorityStart! has activated (or disconnected at the 11.7V threshold), the battery voltage tends to bounce back over 12V once the draw is cut off.
