12V Low Battery Cutoff

This is really hard to follow.

There's a lot of assumptions here, so in-between those assumptions I'm not confident in the 'probably 1 second' and 10 amps values too. Could you supply a circuit diagram of what you're thinking of, and the part codes, and what the aim of the circuit is?

Any circuits or project links you're following, to help progress your project, or is this some completely unique project and you're starting from scratch (not a good idea for a project involving the combination of items you mention).

All this detail is needed because the answers could change significantly depending on that information.

Here is a device that sounds like what you are looking for: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tl7702a.pdf .  The TL7712 device is a 12 volt monitor that trips if the voltage drops below 10.8V.  Current draw is below 20uA, so not too bad there.

Good luck!

Yea I do not want to get into to too much detail I am sort of just asking about some ideas on how to create low battery cutoff circuits.  Gene below has posted what I need. 

Thank you gene I think this should do it.

Another satisfied customer. Create an account and in less than 12 hours you get an answer.

Maybe it will produce and active member?

Is that a question to me?

are we hurting for active members?

I thought your comments were valid. I was disappointed in the posters response. My impression, "No I don't want to answer your questions, besides I already got an answer." The original post was fractured and difficult to follow. It gave no indication of confidentially. It was a question looking for an answer that with the barest minimum of investment.

The question, rhetorical at best.

Yes, the community is always looking for new members. Active would be members willing to  contribute as wells satisfying there own needs. Active members are most welcomed.

Agree, there's only finite time to help (it's like housekeeping, it needs doing so we can all move forward) so sometimes when it's clear there's an issue (rightly or wrongly) delivering information (it's a normal life experience anyway - I see it in industry occasionally but not often, but I'm extremely confident enough to handle it), it's better to spend the time seeing what others are up to or carrying on with work..

I spent the evening tonight building a thermometer! - might write it up tomorrow if I get some time, it's my first attempt at any accurate thermometer, and I'm only guessing if I got the enclosure right (to measure air temperature).
