Security battery apparatus and its method

A security battery apparatus for a vehicle which has a rechargeable battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, said security battery module comprising:

• a security housing covering at least said positive terminal of said rechargeable battery of said vehicle;
• a security adapter provided on said security housing and electrically connected to said positive terminal of said rechargeable battery;
• a current detector electrically connected to said security adapter;
• a control resistance electrically connected to said positive terminal of said rechargeable battery;
• a relay circuitry electrically connected to said positive terminal of said rechargeable battery, and is connected to said control resistance in parallel, said relay circuitry being normally opened so that only a relatively smaller current is allowed to pass through said security adapter through said control resistance;
• a controller module which is received in said security housing and electrically connected to said relay circuitry, said controller module being programmed to electrically activate said relay circuitry when a security identification is received, so as to allow a relatively larger current to by-pass said control resistance and pass through said security adapter for starting up said vehicle;
• and
• a security cable detachably connected to said security adapter for electrically connecting said security adapter other electrical components of said vehicle, said security cable comprising two security connectors, a plurality of the cable wires extending between said two security connectors, and a cable cover accommodating said cable wires which are bounded together to form a substantially flat contour.

A method of preventing unauthorized start-up of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:

• (a) electrically connecting a security terminal to a positive terminal of a rechargeable battery used in a vehicle;
• (b) accommodating said security terminal in a security housing which is securely locked for preventing unauthorized access to said security terminal;
• (c) electrically connecting said security terminal to a controller module, a relay circuitry which is normally opened and connected to said controller module, and a control resistance, wherein said controller module and said control resistance are connected in parallel so as to normally allow a relatively smaller current to pass from said rechargeable battery to said security terminal through said control resistance;
• (d) detecting a current drawn from said rechargeable battery by a current detector, wherein said value of said detected current is sent to said controller module;
• (e) activating at least one security device by said controller module for generating an alarm signal when a security breach is detected based on said detected current;
• and
• (f) activating said relay circuitry by said controller module when a predetermined security identification is received by said controller module, so as to allow a relatively larger current to pass from said rechargeable battery to said security terminal, wherein said security housing comprises a first housing member mounted on said rechargeable battery, a second housing member detachably mounted on said first housing member, and a locking device provided on said first housing member and said second housing member for selectively and normally locking said first housing member with said second housing member.
