Battery Brain is an automotive accessory product that easily installs onto the battery of a regular or custom car, truck, SUV, van, or RV. It uses unique electronic technology to ensure the battery always maintains enough power to start the engine. It is especially useful if you use your car battery to power and MP3 player, mobile computer, TFT LCD screen and other devices. With Battery Brain you’ll always know when is the time to turn on the engine (if you are not driving) to charge the battery

Battery Brain Benefits
- Avoid wasted time being stranded and in potential danger
- Prevent damage to your battery and extend its life
- Prevent damage to your electronics and devices
- Save unnecessary towing and repair costs
- Reduce the risk of vehicle theft*

Battery Brain Type I
Once easily installed on the vehicle’s positive battery terminal, all Battery Brain models monitor the battery charge to detect if the charge is being drained below the level required to start the engine (e.g. 12.1V).
If this occurs, Battery Brain works by disconnecting the battery from the vehicle’s electrical system, preventing further drainage and preserving enough charge to start the engine. A manual reset button on the Battery Brain Type I unit under the hood only needs to be activated to reconnect the circuit and start the vehicle.

Type II comes with a remote control with a universal frequency which activates the unit and reconnects the circuit to enable the vehicle to start. Ideal for multiple vehicles or fleet use.

Type III comes with a remote control with an individual frequency, which activates the unit and reconnects the circuit to enable the vehicle to start. The driver can also choose to disconnect the battery using the remote with Type III, providing an anti-theft device when leaving the vehicle as it cannot be started or hot-wired while Battery Brain is in disconnected mode.

Type IV comes with a wired manual switch, which can be mounted remotely, that activates the unit and reconnects the circuit to enable the vehicle to start. The driver can also choose to disconnect the battery using the switch, providing an anti-theft device when leaving the vehicle as it cannot be started or hot-wired while Battery Brain is in disconnected mode. Type IV is ideal for commercial or fleet use.

Type IV RV comes with a wired manual switch that activates at 10.5V rather than 12.5V as the rest of the units. This unit is specifically made for the protection of the battery life span. It will not enable the driver to restart the engine.

The prices start at $39.95 for Type I and go up to $69.95 for Type IV
