DEFCON Vehicle SPD 

Sure, I'll try to discuss this. I'm a big fan of distributed protection because it helps to create numerous "energy wells" that current can be drained away through.

That's a great idea. I'll try to get it made.

I am the second vote on that subject!

I’ll be a third to request RV CONSIDERATION

I may be out of medal contention here but I will step up and be the fourth re; RV protection request.

5th!!!

This sounds like there is lots of interest around this. I'll see what we can do. Ideally, I'd like to do a video with a real RV, so let me see if I can get access to one.

Thank you.. I have the same question..

On the website it says its recommended to have 2 for both batteries.

The DEFCON Vehicle is currently designed for 12-volts, so you'd need one for each battery.

An additional concern will be how to recharge you vehicle if the grid is down from an EMP.

It's a good question. The DEFCON has three different sets of surge protection components in it, connecting from + to -, + to GND, and - to GND. The idea for the chassis connection is to prevent a voltage differential from developing between the battery - terminal and the chassis of the vehicle. I realize, of course, that most cars already have the - terminal tied to chassis, but the surge protection path offers a second connection to help reduce that voltage differential that might be induced. Home surge protection devices do the same thing with neutral and ground.

If your car or truck has steel belted radial tires, you already have a ground plane through induction. This is why u are not safe in your vehicle with close proximity lightning strike. I think more of the problem is in the induction of high frequency low energy EMP through the various coils that are in the electronic ignitions and main and sub computers that run the vehicle. The best solution is very expensive, research Faraday cages for more info👍

It's an interesting idea. We'll talk about it.

No reply so I’m guessing he can’t prove anything

There's no way it works. 😂

It's just a way to further buy down risk. If budget allows, I recommend it. If not, the TRAP + ferrites are a very effective transient suppression system.

Nothing? Ok, great customer support.

Just a thought, email probably be a better way for " customer support". @@mongo1243

It has a ground connection (the green wire). The case is not metal, so there's no need to ground it directly.

It should come with an install guide. There should also be a video showing how to install it. You just need to tie it across the battery terminals.

I haven't looked carefully at the vulnerabilities of Tesla cars. I hope to do that in the near future.

Have you considered the application of the DEFCON vehicle, SPD on a hybrid vehicle, such as the Toyota Highlander?

Hmmm, for the time being maybe we should request low altitude flights only! 🐍

Aircraft are heavily shielded, although I don’t know if they would survive an EMP.

Aircraft have surge protection systems in them, thank goodness. Mostly, they are to protect from lightning strikes. Also, large aircraft are often quad-redundant, meaning that they can lose multiple strings and still fly. Vehicles are generally single failure on everything.
