This is not like the “battery buddy” from the old days which you will either manually disconnect or that battery must be disconnected when it's running. Battery Brain WILL NOT shut the car off when it is monitoring the voltage. It will only shut the car off when it senses a drop of battery voltage below the 12.1V crucial threshold.

How does the Battery Brain prevent your car from being stolen?
On the Battery Brain Gold model, user can manually (via the wired button) disconnect the load from the battery, which means, there is no electrical power in the vehicle, in that way a thief can't "hot wire" the vehicle because there is no energy source to start the engine. Only the driver can reset the load by pressing the wired button. Once again, this is exclusive to the Gold model only.
Can the driver disconnect the car battery at will?
Yes, by using Battery Brain Gold, the driver can disconnect the load from the battery using the button whenever he chooses to do so. For example:
- To prevent the car from getting stolen, disconnect the battery.
- When used on a boat, disconnect the battery whenever you're done using the craft.
- In dark places you can light the way or shut the lights off from a distance using the button.
- When not using the car for an extended period of time (vacation etc.) disconnect the battery by using the button
Will the Battery Brain disconnect the alarm devices?
Any accessory, such as clocks, alarms, computers, memory settings or any devices can be a fused line & be connected directly to the 12V +ve side of the Battery Brain connection (the one that goes on the battery). This way, the car alarm system or any other accessories still wanting to be powered when shut off, can stay on. In general, if the battery completely drains, the alarm or the other accessories will not work anyway! By installing Battery Brain you prevent this from happening.
What type of vehicles can the Battery Brain be used on?
All types of vehicles, from passenger cars to light trucks to heavy trucks, buses, tractors, RV's, motorcycles, boats, handicap vehicles or any other vehicles that rely on batteries.
