Battery Brain Makes Dead Car Batteries a Thing of the Past

September 8, 2005 --It’s every motorist’s dreaded scenario. You climb in the car, put the key in the ignition, turn it on, and … nothing happens. The battery has died – perhaps because the lights were left on, a cell phone was left charging in the cigarette lighter, or maybe extreme weather has taken its toll. The bottom line is that your car won’t start, leaving you aggravated and losing time while you wait for a jump-start, or worse, leaving you dangerously stranded.

Fortunately, there is an easy and affordable solution, and it is aptly called Battery Brain. A small, innovative device that connects to a car’s battery, Battery Brain uses advanced electronics and software to continuously monitor the charge strength of the battery. If the charge drops below a pre-programmed level, Battery Brain automatically cuts off power to anything draining the battery, ensuring that there is always enough charge remaining to start the engine.

“Battery Brain actually operates as an on/off switch between the battery and electrical system, preventing energy drainage of the battery due to electrical devices being left on, or due to an unknown short in the system,” says Aharon Levinas, a mechanical and environmental engineer whose own frustration with dead batteries led him to develop the device and form a company to market it. “Battery Brain also protects electronic devices in the vehicle – such as DVD players or GPS systems – which can be damaged if the electrical current and voltage do not remain at a constant level.”

Battery Brain can be used with any engine with a conventional lead-acid battery, which includes cars, trucks, RVs, tractors, and even boats. It can be installed by any do-it-yourselfer or professional mechanic in a matter of minutes, using the vehicle’s existing battery cables. Once installed, Battery Brain immediately begins monitoring the battery to ensure it is maintaining a sufficient charge. Should Battery Brain need to disconnect power due to excess drain, all it takes is a simple push down on the device’s reset control knob to start the engine – at which point the electric generator or alternator will recharge the battery.

For even more convenience, an upgrade model, the Battery Brain III, features a remote control device. Drivers can simply press a button on the remote control to reestablish power to the car’s electrical accessories and enable vehicle starting, without having to open the car hood. As an additional feature on the Battery Brain III, drivers can use the remote control to disconnect and reconnect power as desired. With the power disconnected, would-be thieves are unable to “hot-wire” the car – turning Battery Brain into an effective anti-theft device.

With both models of Battery Brain, an optional installation method enables drivers to bypass certain devices, such as clock or alarm system. This advanced installation allows key electrical devices to continue to operate even when the battery has drained enough for Battery Brain to activate, and eliminates the need to reprogram the devices’ settings when battery power is restored.

Battery Brain is priced for affordability, particularly in light of the lost time, inconvenience, and money spent on a single incident of a dead battery. The basic model retails for $39.95, and the Battery Brain III with remote control and anti-theft feature sells for $69.95.

What’s more, not only does Battery Brain contribute to peace of mind that a vehicle will start, it actually prolongs the life of the battery – since every time a battery discharges below a certain level, it suffers unrecoverable damage and accelerates its eventual replacement. That not only means a cost in the price of a new battery, but the environmental cost of additional hazardous materials being discarded. By extending the life of the car battery, which contains heavy metals that can contaminate the environment, Battery Brain meets the criteria of the Environmental Protection Agency as a product that reduces hazardous waste.

Battery Brain comes complete with ground wire, mounting hardware, and fuse connector wires. Because battery location and position differ in different vehicles, the device includes hardware and instructions for installation in various top mount or side mount positions.
