Question 1

How does the Battery Programmable Brain (“BPB”) work?

Accepted Answer

The “BPB” is attached to a vehicle’s battery and disconnects the load from the battery when it detects a voltage level of 11.8 [V] (default), thereby saving sufficient energy in the battery to restart the vehicle when needed. This means that if you mistakenly leave the lights or radio on, or there is an unknown short in the electrical system and or a parasitic draw, BPB makes sure that your car will start.
(This is a simplified explanation, for an extensive explanation see page “###”)

Question 2

How long it takes for the Battery Programmable Brain to disconnect?

Accepted Answer

When The BPB it detects a voltage drop under 11.8 [V] (default) it will start a 30 seconds (default) countdown to disconnect.
The BPB will not disconnect the load from the vehicle battery while the engine is in normal operation (only if the supplied “Engine On wire” is connected properly).

Question 3

How can the Battery Programmable Brain help prevent your car from being stolen?

Accepted Answer

BPB can also disconnect the battery on demand simply by pushing a button, providing an anti-theft device when leaving the vehicle; the vehicle cannot be started or hot-wired when the battery is disconnected from the electrical system.
There will be no energy source to start the engine. Only the driver can reset the load by pressing the remote control button or by pressing the push button (older versions also have manual reset knob on top of the BB unit).

Question 4

Will the Battery Programmable Brain disconnect alarm devices?

Accepted Answer

If you don’t use the bypass feature than yes but In general, if the battery completely drains, the alarm or the other accessories will not work anyway. By installing BPB, you can prevent this from happening.
Any accessory, such as clocks, alarms, radar, computers, memory settings or any similar devices can be connected directly to the positive post of the BPB. There is a special connector on the BPB so that the alarm or other accessories will still be energized.

Question 5

What is the energy consumption of the Battery Programmable Brain?

Accepted Answer

The Battery Programmable Brain uses 100 Micro Ampere during normal operation; after disconnecting the load from the battery, the consumption for type [IV] is10 Micro [Amp] (next to zero) and for BPB remote is 3 Milli [Amp].

Question 6

What is the difference between the Battery Programmable Brain and other similar devices?

Accepted Answer

The major differences between BPB and other battery switches and LVD’s are…
 
None of the LVD's that we have seen and checked on line hold these unique package of capabilities (for the unique capabilities of the BPB see page “BPB capabilities”).

None of them are programmable.

None of them monitors the battery's health and can take corrective and adjustable response.

None of them monitors the ambient temperature and take corrective action to compensate the decrease in the battery’s performance which occurs in cold temperatures.

None of them have claims to resist water penetration, the BPB does.

Most of them are manual battery switches and the BPB is a manual and automatic battery switch.

Most of them are not build to withstand the high current consumption of a starting battery upon ignition.

Most of them are not as robust and build to withstand the very harsh environment conditions of heat, vibrations, corrosive, moisture and even water penetration.

The BPB does it all! BPB disconnects all electrical connections other than the ones you desire to leave on. (Those have to be wired directly from the fuse box to the butterfly connector on the BPB).

Other products are also too complicated and difficult to install. BPB is small (1 3/4" X 2 1/8" X 2”) and in most cases installation takes no more than a few minutes: it attaches directly onto the vehicle’s battery and it is a “do it yourself” installation.

BY-PASS Functionality - The Battery Programmable Brain is the only device that has the ability to by-pass itself when needed, such as in the event that there is no charge and the driver wants to use the remaining energy of the battery to get to a safe place or the nearest service station.

Question 7

What type of vehicles can use the Battery Programmable Brain?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What is the life expectancy of the Battery Programmable Brain?

Accepted Answer

The BPB employs state of the art technology that will last for many years. The BPB is bound by a Manufacturer's warranty for two years and the product is covered by product liability insurance.

Question 9

Can the driver disconnect the car battery when he wants to?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by using BPB, the driver can disconnect the load from the battery, using the remote control or by pressing the push button (depending on the model type) whenever he chooses to do so. For example:
In dark places you can light the way or shut the lights off from a distance using the remote control (model type lll).
When not using the car for an extended period of time (vacation etc.) disconnect the battery by pressing a button.
