Re: Problem with Lockzilla



hmmm...now that you bring that up...

I have Lockzilla installed in my D (no remotes) and I noticed that 
after I fully charge my battery with a battery charger....let it sit 
for a week or two (without starting) then find out later when I go 
to start it the battery would be dead or too weak to turn the engine 
over. I thought that maybe the battery was a defective one and I 
would just replace it later after I finished restoring my car. I 
think I'll disconnect lockzilla and fully charge my battery 
again...wait a week or two and see if the problem goes away.
