[Shop-talk] Car Battery Hack

[Fred Katz]

Funny! Good joke.

I am interested about a real car battery hack. Around 1998, I bought a  
Sears Die-Hard Security battery for my hobby car that I invested a lot  
of work and money. The Security battery came with a hand-held remote  
control. After parking my car, using the remote disables the battery  
from starting the car, while regular accessories continue to function.  
A couple years ago my remote died, and I later replaced the remote  
button-sized battery. However, the remote needs to be reprogrammed.  
The battery still functions although the security function won't work  
until the remote is programmed.

I searched the Internet, tried calling Sears tech phone numbers, all  
without success.

Does anyone on the list have any knowledge of the reprogramming  
sequence? I do know my code ID for the battery.

Thanks, Fred - So.SF
