Mine is definitely wired into the system, that must be how the battery recharges...
I talked with him yesterday Jim, He says the systems used to be wired into the car but they found out that the thieves would just disconnect the battery and go 'invisible' to the tracking system. Now, it runs on a battery similar to the medical grade batteries that run insulin pumps, pacemakers etc...
Thanks Rob,
That makes a lot more sense. I always thought the wired unit was a weak link.
What did he say about testing and replacing the battery ? What's the expected life ? Can enduser do the replacement ? Does it require a "special" battery ?
