Security system
First Claim
1. A vehicle security system including a remote control device and a vehicle battery with a controller, the controller arranged to partially reduce battery power when the vehicle engine or main propulsion power source is turned off, and the controller arranged to receive a unique code transmitted from the remote control device and to subsequently selectively permit the battery to supply sufficient power to start the engine or engage the main propulsion power source to drive the vehicle with the controller limiting the battery to supply part power prior to receiving the unique code from the remote control device, the part power not being sufficient to start the engine or enable the main propulsion power source for driving the vehicle.

Abstract
A vehicle security system including a remote control device, such as a keypad and a vehicle battery having a controller arranged to reduce battery power when the vehicle engine is turned off, and arranged to receive a unique code transmitted from the remote control device and to subsequently selectively permit the battery to supply sufficient power to start or drive the vehicle. The battery can be a replacement battery for the vehicle or supplied as an OEM part. The battery controller can be provided with a unique serial number to be directly linked to the vehicle. Authorities can be provided with a control codes that can be transmitted remotely from a police pursuit vehicle to selectively absorb the external power from the vehicle electrical systems and remotely stop the engine in the event of a stolen or misused vehicle.

15. A vehicle security system including a remote control device and a vehicle battery with a controller, the controller arranged to partially reduce battery power when the vehicle engine or main propulsion power source is turned off, and the controller arranged to receive a unique code transmitted from the remote control device and to subsequently selectively permit the battery to supply sufficient power to start the engine or engage the main propulsion power source to drive the vehicle wherein the system is arranged such that detection of unauthorised jump starting or push starting of the vehicle by the controller causes the controller to effect battery power output reversal at a positive battery terminal to collapse an electrical field of an alternator on the vehicle and stop the vehicle engine.

17. A vehicle security system including a remote control device and a vehicle battery with a controller, the controller arranged to partially reduce battery power when the vehicle engine or main propulsion power source is turned off, and the controller arranged to receive a unique code transmitted from the remote control device and to subsequently selectively permit the battery to supply sufficient power to start the engine or engage the main propulsion power source to drive the vehicle wherein the controller is arranged to receive a unique remote deactivation code, the unique remote deactivation code determined by cross matching the vehicle or vehicle identification to a unique battery identification and wherein the unique remote deactivation code disables the vehicle by reverting the battery to a reverse power output or power absorption state.
