Default Battery with alarm???

Has anyone used that Diehard car battery (from Sears) with the alarm system in it? I'm thinking about this instead of a full blown car alarm (which nobody listens to anyway). Sounds like they both will disable the car, and unless the thief brings there own battery, the Diehard seems like it might work better. Any input would be appreciated...thanks :confused:

I have one and love it, like you said unless the thief is carting around a battery he can't steal
the car, can't be push started or jumped.

It works great. The only way the car can be stolen is for a charged battery to be exchanged into the car.

I love mine except when I forget to activate it and my car starts and shuts off and I start to think somethings wrong. Then I realize it's the friggin driver who has forgot to activate the battery. :nonod:
