What if I have a 12 volt battery and want it to alarm me when it drops to say 9 to 10 volts. How does this work?

Substituted a HA17339 for the LM339, used a 6.2V zener, a 2.2V (green) LED and a 6K POT. Left out the piezo buzzer. The circuit works like a charm.

The schamatic I downloaded had the Zener backwards and the LED stayed on. Turned around and worked great. Made another on for my neighbors stored RV battery. Thanks

hi, i cannot get a 6v zener diode in New Zealand, will a 5.6v or a 6.2v work instead?

I am planning to trigger the 12V Cutout at 11V so please suggest me the alternative for 5k pot.
