True...but how effective is a car alarm at accomplishing this same
predicament? Even the battery beeps it's ass off when the car is broken into
and gives you the same result. I think that was something I failed to
mention in my 1st mailing.

I can't argue with you there...one more remote to add can be a negative
aspect. Right now my car doesn't have a security system, so for me this
wouldn't be a bad thing.

Without advertising this new battery being installed in the SUV or car, how
would a thief know it's in there? How many thieves do you know of that bring
an extra battery to steal a car?

I'll take a broken glass over a stolen car any day. Stolen cars lead to
joyriding and other unmentionables.

Do you mean Jump Start? The battery is protected from jump starts. If the
anti theft is enabled, you can't jump start it. Also, when the thief manages
to get into the car, the ignition will turn over and start the engine. After
running the engine for 2 seconds without disabling the system, the car
simply turns off. After 3 attempts, all "juice" to the car is killed.

Any product on the market has flaws or can leave room for improvement.
Although you mentioned some good points, you have to keep in mind that this
is a battery we are talking about here. I'm pretty amazed to the fact that
this is just a battery.

PS - Any opinions expressed in any aspect of this new battery are opinions
based on what I have read and learned about this new product. I really
wouldn't promote something that I thought was crappy.
