I installed a device that was originally designed for limiting the time a dashcam will operate after key-off, either working on a timer or by reaching a set minimum battery voltage (or both). https://xoutpost.com/1218267-post86.html

I'm using it to limit my electric fan to run only for a short time after key-off, to keep the battery from draining. I anticipate that I'll need the fan to keep cooling the radiator for awhile during 100+ degree days, coming soon.
