Short form kit for the Battery Lifesaver A kit which includes the PCB and all the SMD parts for the Battery Lifesaver project, including all the resistors you may need to set the required cut-off voltage. Does not include through-hole parts such as trimpot VR1 and zener diode ZD1. For assembly instructions, see the article in the September 2013 issue. Note that Jaycar Electronics have a complete kit for this project (KC-5523) which comes with the ICs pre-soldered, including Q1, which can be quite tricky to fit. So if you are not comfortable soldering SMDs, especially those with large thermal pads, we recommend that you get the Jaycar kit instead.
