I agree this seems idiotic. They could just isolate the battery pack from any connection except a small controller that wakes up at regular intervals or in case of external events and checks the status. It needs a board with 3d accelerometer, pressure sensor, temp sensor, gps, and of course gpio connected radio key decoder. The board can have 3G capability to send alert if battery is dying and other events through sms, email or rpc. The status of the battery would be know remotely with accuracy. The board could run on its own battery (2 AA would suffice for a year). It would also function as a car alarm.
