The invention relates to a device which solves the problem with getting batteries discharged by mistake in equipments that are powered by batteries. The invention (1) is placed between batteries in the battery carrier in the equipment that is to be protected. The invention is placed in the battery carrier between the batteries which means that the electrical circuit can be controlled depending on if the invention is electrical insulated or electrical conductive. When the invention is in its place the contact surfaces (7, 8) on the invention (1) is in series with the batteries which means that the electrical circuit of the equipment is totally controlled by the switch (9). The switch (9) is controlled from a timer (13) that breaks the electrical circuit after a defined time from the time the equipment was powered on, that is detected by the current detector (10). To reset the invention after it has switched off, the actuator (17) of the equipment is used. By this arrangement it is not possible to discharge the batteries by mistake since the equipment only can be switched on for a certain time. |
