Bypassing Alarms

Right, that does it. Having had my battery on charge for 24 hours, I go to
the '6R to start it up and go for an evening blat. Opening the garage door,
I hear a faint crunching sound, and a brief 'ptooie', as my Datatool Stealth
chews up and spits out yet another fucking battery, due to it deeply
discharging them every time I leave the bike alone for more than a
nanosecond. Sure enough, when I disconnect the charger (one of them fancy
ones wot 'maintains' the battery once charged), I get five seconds of
cranking and no start, before the last remnants of charge dripple out into
the atmosphere.

So - how does one go about disentangling one of these things from my bike's
long-suffering electrical systems? The hit on insurance systems can't
possibly be more than the forty quids I'm regularly forking out on new
batteries.

 

some companies will refuse to insure

you sure its your alarm that's fucking the batteries and not a fault in
the charger

 

Possibly, but I doubt it on a ten year-old '6R worth less than two grand.
Cosmetic damage is a great anti-theft device too.

Pretty sure - it hasn't killed the battery on the non-alarmed CB500 yet.

 

check the charging system on the bike as well then , if your
optimiser/slowcharger is working ok then that alone would supply enough
power to run the alarm system without flattening the battery
if your charging systems on the bike is knackered it could be over charging
the battery

 

Is there an easy way to check it?

 

you need a megameter to check the voltage coming of the charging system ,
you also need to know what the charging voltage should be it varies between
bikes its usually around 14 volts though if the charging voltage is to
high then it cooks your battery

Had a similar problem with a Datatool Duo Immobiliser. Took it off and
advised the ins co. Difference in premium was less than £1!

Eh? He needs some astrometical instrument equipment used for
determining longtitude by observation of the stars?

Is that a cure-all for this type of problem?

I'm sure you meant a multimeter really, but it was definately a
'boggle' moment there.

I have two teenage daughters, and one aged nearly 24. I hate Wogan and
his merry band of geriatric cunts.

 

see prev post re: rectifier.regulator

the end result was the battery, I had been sent two faulty ones before
finally gettign a good'un and the problem went away

 

you suffered too then

 

I have one teenage daughter; quite like Wogan when he's doing Eurovision
and ceratinly don't listen to Radio 2.

 

You all know about my daughter, and I've already admitted to occasionally
listening to Radio 2 in the car.
