Does Ghost Immobiliser Drain Your Car Battery?
Short Answer: No, the Ghost Immobiliser has minimal impact on your car's battery. It's designed with efficient power management to protect your vehicle without causing battery drain, even during extended periods of inactivity.
Understanding Power Consumption
The Ghost Immobiliser is engineered with power efficiency in mind. It operates on a very low power consumption mode when your vehicle is parked, using less than 0.1mA of current. To put this in perspective:
- A standard car battery (60Ah) would take over 2 years to drain from the Ghost Immobiliser alone
- This is significantly less than many factory-fitted security systems
- The system automatically enters sleep mode when the vehicle is parked
Power Management Features
The Ghost Immobiliser incorporates several features to minimise battery impact:
Smart Power Management
The system automatically adjusts its power consumption based on vehicle status, using minimal power when parked and only drawing more when actively protecting your vehicle.
Efficient Operation
Advanced circuitry ensures that power is only used when necessary, with no unnecessary background processes or constant monitoring that could drain the battery.
Real-World Performance
In real-world conditions, the Ghost Immobiliser has proven to be extremely battery-efficient:
- No reported cases of battery drain from the Ghost Immobiliser alone
- Compatible with all modern vehicle electrical systems
- Works seamlessly with factory-fitted security systems
- No impact on vehicle starting or electrical performance
Important Note
While the Ghost Immobiliser itself has minimal battery impact, it's always recommended to maintain your vehicle's battery in good condition. Regular battery maintenance and replacement when needed will ensure optimal performance of all vehicle systems, including security features.
