Default Priority start - automatic battery protector?

Anyone using one of these? Would you recommend it?

"Stops a dead battery before it happens
*Monitors Voltage
*Senses Drain
*Automatically Disconnects
*Automatically Reconnects"

i have one, its sitting on my bench, sell it to you for cheap. its the yellow upgraded one.

the problem i didn't like was it was a little too sensitive, meaning it would disconnect at times that were very inconvient to me, aka tuning or just listening to the radio..

i have a yellow top battery so i can usually deep cycle it whenever without doing much harm.

I have had one on my 2006 since it was about 3 months old. Had battery problems for the first 3 years and the Priority Start save me a number of times.

I put one on my 05 and the only time I had a battery problem it was the priority start that was the problem. Removed it and the car started right up. Sent old one back and they replaced it with the yellow one but I haven't installed it yet.
