I don't agree and still makes no sense to me. I have another relay like this on another RV and it works great. Just a different brand. Made by Surepower and turns "off" at 12.8 volts. That is 1/10th a volt above nomimal battery voltage and works "just right." After driving and turning the key "off" the batteries disconnect within a minute or two.

Not just one. Takes quite a bit to run them all down 5%. Maybe it makes sense to you - but not to me. My isolation relay was "on" day and night for 4 days drawing a steady 1 amp the whole time. That's 96 hours drawing 1 amp to keep that relay closed and voltage was still 12.72 volts.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
