If you can find a low voltage cut-out that can be set to cut out in the 10.8
to 11.0 volt region, then connect it to the battery in series with a 5 or 6
watt car tail light bulb. When the bulb goes out you know it is time to
attach the charger.

Simple if you can get a cut-out. Us deprived Australasians have these Dick
Smith stores where you can buy a kitset and assemble it yourself. You more
civilised people should be able to find one ready made.

Happy hunting,

Allan S
