Specification . The Sleeping Battery prevents car thieves from gaining access to a car via the keyless entry system . The patented microchip within will put the battery into sleep mode after three minutes of non-movement meaning the key will no longer transmit a signal and the car is protected against relay attack .
Greig Kember of 3D Group said : “ When a vehicle is stolen , we often think of the monetary value of the vehicle , but many people also lose sentimental items that are not replaceable . Also the inconvenience caused to the owners and after effects of vulnerability can often be overlooked .” www . securedbydesign . com
