Abstract
A vehicle anti-theft battery has two external battery lugs (7, 32) and comprises a battery housing (1) having two battery compartments (2, 4). The first compartment (2) encloses a plurality of battery cells (5) connected to positive and negative terminals (12, 13) disposed internally within the housing (1). A control circuit module (10) is secured in the second compartment (4) and is in electrical contact with the internal battery terminals (12, 13). The control circuit includes a heavy-duty contact switch (37) between at least one of the internal battery terminals (12, 13) and the corresponding battery terminal lug (32), so as to electrically immobilise the vehicle. An alarm is included in the control circuit.
Claims
1. A vehicle battery having a plurality of battery cells (5) and at least two external battery terminal lugs (7,32), the battery further comprising: a battery housing (1) having two portions (2,4), the first portion (2) enclosing the plurality of battery cells (5) which are connected to positive (12) and negative (13) terminals disposed internally within the housing (1); and a control circuit module (10) disposed within the second portion (4) of the battery housing (1) and electrically connected to the positive (12) and negative (13) terminals, the control circuit including a heavy-duty contact switch (37) between at least one of the internal battery terminals (12,13) and the corresponding external battery terminal lug (7,32), said external terminal lug
(32) being provided on the control circuit module (10), so as to electrically immobilise the corresponding vehicle in which the battery is located.
2. A vehicle battery according to claim 1, in which the control circuit module (10) is releasably secured within the second portion (4) of the battery housing (1).
3. A vehicle battery according to claim 1 or claim 2, in which the battery housing (1) comprises a standard battery housing (2) having an extra compartment (4) within the housing (1) for accepting the control circuit module (10).
4. A vehicle battery according to any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the control circuit includes an alarm circuit connected to an alarm device such as a siren (39) which operates either independently or in conjunction with an installed vehicle alarm. - 1 7 -
5. A vehicle battery according to claim 4, in which the siren (39) is mounted on the module and sound passage holes are provided in the wall of the extra compartment (4) of the battery housing (1) to decrease attenuation of the siren signal.
6. A vehicle battery according to claim 4 or claim 5, in which the control circuit has two modes, a first armed operational mode in which the vehicle is electrically immobilised and the alarm circuit is armed and a second inoperational mode in which the alarm is disarmed and the heavy-duty switch (37) is closed so that the battery performs as a standard battery.
7. A vehicle battery according to claim 6, in which, in the operational mode, the control circuit monitors all fluctuations of the current being drawn through a low current feed (34) by the vehicle in an idle mode, the control circuit providing the low current feed (34) to power the vehicle clock and providing sufficient power to retain memory on devices such as coded radios and mobile phones when the alarm and the immobiliser are armed.
8. A vehicle battery according to claim 7, in which a sudden increase in current drawn through the low current feed (34) triggers the alarm.
9. A vehicle battery according to any one of the preceding claims, in which additional circuitry is provided in the control circuit to monitor voltage variation should a parallel-connected battery be installed.
10. A vehicle battery according to claim 9, in which the alarm is operable to trigger and the immobiliser is -18- operable to activate when a voltage variation is sensed.
11. A vehicle battery according to claim 9 or claim 10, in which the additional circuit is operable to monitor for a further voltage variation when the parallel-connected battery is removed, and to ground the current from the vehicle alternator to stop the vehicle engine.
12. A vehicle battery according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the control circuit is operable by remote means including a coded signal source.
13. A vehicle battery comprising a battery housing having a first portion (2) enclosing a plurality of battery cells (5) connected to positive (12) and negative (13) terminals disposed internally within the housing (1) and including a single external battery lug (7), and a second portion (4), for housing a control circuit module (10) connectable to the internal battery terminals for electrically immobilising the vehicle.
14. A control circuit module releasably securable within a battery housing and electrically connectable to internally disposed positive and negative terminals of the battery, the control circuit including a heavy-duty contact switch (37) for connection between at least one internal battery terminal and at least one external battery terminal lug (32) disposed on said module for electrically immobilising the vehicle.
