Auto Alarms Designed To Draw 100 Amps

see if you can get the car towed away.

So the thief just needs to walk down the street kick a few cars to set the alarms off then walk back in 31 minutes and break in?

Well, at least they wouldn't be able start the car and drive it to the chop shop. ;-)

But running a car battery down to zero usually wrecks the battery - there's another fifty bucks or so down the drain.

It's not good for the battery, but doesn't destroy it overnight.

Any cars with manual transmission can still be push-started - especuially if you can get them to the apropriate end of a good slope. it tqakes a bit more push to start a card with a good but fully discharged battery than it does one with a weak battery as you need to spin the altenator up enough to power the ignition.

If the noisy vehicles are violating a civic ordinance and are parked on the street you can possibly get them towed away. That's going to be as as good of a lesson as a flat battery whist providing employment in the community.

Bret Cahill formulated on Sunday :

Civilised countries have laws that require alarms both house and car to stop after a period, 12 minutes or somesuch.

Wots your REAL problem?

For that matter do you life dreaming up ridiculous problems??

Sometimes Brett's tinfoil hat leaks. ;-)

What about despotisms where everthing is punishment oriented?

In those societies the only way legislation would pass would be by taking $15 off the life of his battery.

It won't destroy it, but it will be damaged. The number of times you can get away with this can be counted on your hands.

Hell, if you can push it that fast the transmission type doesn't matter (though it's not good for some autos). Remember, without a battery the alternator only has a residual magnetism.

...and fined.

Sometimes?
