Testing & Operating
Instructions
1. TO TEST FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION:
Press and release the reset button on the remote control unit.
Start the engine after installation is complete. If the engine
starts properly proceed to the next step. If not, review the
installation instruction or consult a qualifi ed technician.
2. TO TEST BATTERY BRAIN OPERATION:
With the Battery Brain Platinum in the “ON” position (or using
the reset button on the remote) turn the engine off and turn on
as many electrical accessories (i.e. lights, radio,) as possible
and leave them on. The Battery Brain Platinum will cut power
from the battery automatically – confi rming the Battery Brain
Platinum is working. This may take some time, depending on
the battery’s age and state of charge.
3. TO TEST THE ANTI-THEFT FUNCTION:
To arm the anti-theft function when leaving the vehicle
unattended, press and release the arm button on the remote
control unit. The vehicle cannot be started when the anti-theft
function is armed, because the battery is isolated from the
vehicle’s electrical system. However, all electronic settings in
the vehicle will be maintained (e.g.: radio presets, clock, etc.).
To verify whether the unit is armed, press the buzzer button.
The buzzer will sound twice, which confi rms that the unit is
armed. If the buzzer does not sound, this signifi es that the unit
is not armed.
4. TO START THE VEHICLE & DISARM THE
ANTI-THEFT FUNCTION:
Press and release the reset button on the remote control unit in
order to start the vehicle.
NOTE: The engine cannot be started when the Battery Brain
Platinum is armed, but all electrical settings function normally.
If the Battery Brain Platinum detects that the power in the
battery is at the minimum level required in order to start the
vehicle, it will isolate the battery in order to conserve enough
power to start the vehicle. When this occurs, all electrical
settings (radio presets, clock, etc.) will need to be reset when
the power is reconnected. Any in-dash alerts that were present
(check engine, check oil, etc.) may be reset.
In such a case, it is recommended to turn the key to the
first position (accessory) and wait 30 seconds before
starting the engine.
5. TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY:
Press the disconnect button on the remote control unit in order
to completely disconnect the battery. This may be desirable in
situations such as long-term parking, storage, etc. When the
battery is completely disconnected, there will be no electrical
power fl owing to the vehicle. All electrical settings (radio
presets, clock, etc.) will need to be reset when the power is
reconnected.
In such a case, it is recommended to turn the key to the
first position (accessory) and wait 30 seconds before
starting the engine.
6. TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY:
Press and release the Disarm / Connect button on the remote
control unit in order to reconnect the battery.
7. TO MANUALLY OPERATE THE ON BUTTON:
The Battery Brain Platinum is equipped with a manual button
on the top of the unit under the removable protective cap
that can be used if the remote control unit is not available to
reconnect power.
To Reconnect: Press down the button (on the ON position)and
hold until the power is reconnected. The unit will be disarmed,
and the vehicle can be started.
To Disconnect: Remote control must be used to disconnect the unit.
In such a case, it is recommended to turn the key to the
first position (accessory) and wait 30 seconds before
starting the engine.

IMPORTANT:
The Battery Brain Platinum is in sleep mode while the engine
is running, and will not react to any change in battery power.
When the vehicle is running, the vibration sensor will sense
the engine vibration, and the Battery Brain Platinum will not
disconnect the battery, even if the battery power level falls
below the minimum required in order to start the vehicle (as a
result of the alternator not working). In order for this feature to
be active, the vibration sensor must be connected (see Step 4
of the installation instructions).
IMPORTANT:
The vehicle settings will remain active as long as the battery
is in good operating condition. If the battery’s power levels fall
below the minimum required in order to start the vehicle, the
Battery Brain Platinum will disconnect the battery from the
entire electrical system in order to conserve enough power to
start the vehicle.
If problems occur with any of the testing or operating
procedures, please refer to Trouble Shooting Instructions
or consult Battery Brain technical support.
MULTI BATTERY INSTALLATION
If your vehicle has a multi-battery confi guration, determine
whether the batteries are connected in a series or parallel.
Battery Brain can be mounted to any battery confi guration.
However, any primary live positive battery post must have its
own Battery Brain. Consult a certifi ed technician if you require
assistance.
If the two or more batteries are connected in series then only
one Battery Brain is required. Follow the installation instructions
as previously stated. If two or more batteries are connected in
parallel, then you will require two Battery Brains, to ensure that
the batteries are effectively isolated from the electrical system
once the activation threshold is reached. Mount both Battery
Brains at the primary positive posts connected to the Starter,
Alternator, ECM or any accessory device that requires electrical
power.
Installation Tip: Remote Location: If you wish to mount the
Battery Brain in a remote location due to space limitations, or
if desired, use proper battery cable either gauge 4/0 or 2/0.
(Additional cable not supplied)
Sample Configuration Options
Series confi guration options shown for example purposes only.

INSTALLATION COMPLETE
The manual reset control knob on the battery Brain unit under
the removable protective cap should be turned to the “on”
position. Then press down on the manual reset control knob to
establish contact.
NOTE: If there is a need to bypass the Battery Brain Platinum
so that it will not function when the engine is OFF turn the
manual reset button under the removable protective cap to the
OFF position.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
After installation, the battery brain platinum doesn’t
seem to Be working.
What to do:
1. Be sure your battery is holding the proper charge.
2. Make sure the positive side of the Battery Brain Platinum
(the side with 12V+ printed) is attached to the positive (+)
post of the battery.
3. Check that the Manual Reset Control Knob under the
removable protective cap is pointing to the “ON” position.
Check that the black ground wire is securely attached to the
negative (-) post on the battery.
After the battery brain has disconnected power, the
remote control does not reset the power.
What to do:
1. Press and release the arm button on the remote control unit
in order to activate the Battery Brain Platinum.
2. Hold the Remote Control button down for fi ve seconds to
activate Battery Brain Platinum.
3. Turn the Manual Reset Control Knob under the removable
protective cap to “ON” and push down to reset.
4. Check that the black ground wire is securely attached to the
negative (-) post on the battery.

Battery brain platinum is frequently disconnecting
power for no apparent reason.
What to do:
1. Your battery may be near the end of its life cycle or damaged
and not be able to maintain a safe level of charge. The
battery should be tested and replaced if necessary.
2. Your vehicles charging system may have a malfunction and
not be able to fully charge the battery. Consult a qualifi ed
technician.
3. Disconnect all accessory electronics (radio, phone charger,
DVD player, etc.) and check to see if any other accessories
were accidentally left on or malfunctioning (glove box lights,
trunk lights, power antennas, etc) and test again.
You cannot determine a battery brain installation
configuration for your vehicle or locate battery
connections.
What to do:
Consult a qualifi ed technician.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If a warning light for NO CHARGE or BATTERY WARNING
illuminates on your dashboard, stop your vehicle at a safe area
and TURN THE MANUAL RESET CONTROL KNOB (located under
the removable protective cap on the Battery Brain Platinum
unit itself) TO THE “OFF” POSITION. Your vehicle will experience
a complete loss of power unless the “No Charge” problem is
repaired immediately! This problem is unrelated to the Battery
Brain Platinum and requires assistance from a qualifi ed
technician.
