What is the “Battery Prog Brain” (BPB)
Battery Prog
Using unique micro-electronic technology it continually monitors the
battery power. When Battery Prog Brain detects power falling below the
threshold level required to start your engine, it automatically isolates the
battery from the electrical system. This will ensure the battery always have
enough power to start your engine and will prolong the battery life. There
are a few ways to reset the power according to the type of BPB you have
purchase.
*T3 & T4 have the ability to disconnect the battery from the electrical
system intentionally and to act as an anti-theft device.
*T4RV (Utility) is designed to extend battery life by protecting
utility/house/coach batteries rather than the vehicle starting battery and
can disconnect the battery from the electrical system intentionally to
preserve battery power when not in use.
Brain is an innovative accessory that easilyinstalls to any battery.

connected/disconnected) press the push button.
The button can be mounted/concealed
anywhere in the vehicle and is connected to the
Battery Prog Brain unit via a wire with a
connector.
T4RV looks like the T4 model but is
designed to be connected to the
utility/house/coach batteries in order to avoid
deep discharge which can prematurely end a
batteries life.
Mount the push button in the desired

If used as accessory bypass you can bypass a
particular circuit and allow power to it.
If used as ENGINE ON wire this will ensure the
BPB will not disconnect the power when the main
vehicle ignition switch is "ON" (Engine running)

Installation of the Engine On wire will

voltage level drops below 11.8V as could
be the case with accessories that briefly
reduce the voltage below the threshold
level or in the case of problems with the
vehicle electrical components. i.e. bad
alternator.
This wire must be installed to ensure the
Battery Prog Brain will not disconnect the
power while the engine is running. (Not
required if ERD tested OK)
Optional: Red Accessory Bypass Wire
Installation
Installation of the red accessory bypass
wire will provide you with continuous 12V
power to an accessory or accessories

allow you to save presets or memory

If your vehicle has a multi-battery
configuration, Battery Prog Brain can be
mounted to any battery configuration.
However, any primary live positive battery
post must have its own Battery Brain.
Consult a certified technician if you
require assistance.
If the two or more batteries are
connected in Parallel, to one primary red
positive cable, then only one Battery Prog
Brain is required. Follow the installation
instructions as previously stated.
If two or more batteries are connected in
parallel, two primary red positive cables,
then you will require two Battery Prog Brains,
to ensure that the batteries are effectively
isolated from the electrical system once
the disconnection threshold is reached.
Mount both Battery Prog 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 Prog Brain in a
remote location due to space limitations,
or if desired, use proper battery cable.

The BPB Programmer has
the following parts:
The BPB Programmer has the following parts:
The box and on it the three digits display, a plus
and minus and the ENTER buttons.
The three wires, Black, Red and Yellow.
1 When connecting the Black wire to the
negative side of a battery and the Red to the
positive, the Programmer is a Volt meter that will
display the actual voltage of the battery, when it
is connected to the battery and you start the
engine it will display how low the battery voltage
went at the starting point by pressing the “+”
button or it will display the rate of charge by
pressing “-“button.
That gives the user a very important diagnostic
tool to test the battery condition and alternator
condition.
A battery of 12V suppose to have at list 12.6V in
normal condition, when starting the engine
battery voltage should not drop under 8.5V
A good state of charge (alternator) should be
at 13V.
2. When connecting the yellow wire to the ACC
connector on the BPB (Battery Programmable
Brain) and pressing the remote control or the
push button 5 times
The display will start blinking, that means the
programmer is communicating with the BPB
unit, the blinking display will show the
disconnecting point the BPB is programmed to
disconnect at, by pressing the (“+”) button this
number will change upward, by pressing the
(“-“) button it will change the numbers
downward, when you got to the desired point
press the ENTER button and this number will be
implemented into the BPB and the next screen
of Delay time will appear blinking, repeat the
same steps as for the voltage until you riches the
desire delay time and press ENTER.
The next display will show the ERD (Engine
running detection) AS ER0 or ER1 while blinking
if you want the ERD to be “ON” then you chose
the ER1 by pressing the (“+”) button if you want
it off then press the minus button, when the
display shows the ERD as you want it then press
ENTER.
This time you will have the reconnect function
blinking scroll up or down until you get the
reconnect point that you want OR if you want it
on OFF then press the (“+”) button until it will
show OFF then press the ENTER button and
disconnect the wires Black Red and Yellow, the
order dose not matter.
