datatool and battery charging
Hi guys,
I have a datatool system 3 fitted, and i want to give the battery a charge, to make sure she is fully juiced for this crappy weather. Thing is i havent done the pin overide thingy on the system 3, and i dont have an optimate yet, so it would be a case of charging using a normal charger, but being a novice i wanted to ask, can you unclip the battery and charge it, or will this cause the alarm to go off. Also, what will happen when i reconect the battery, will this also set off the alarm, or will it be ok? Im not sure if you have to set up the overide before uncliping the battery. If i dont have the pin overide set up will this cause me grief cheers!! oh, and a merry Christmas to you all |
Re: datatool and battery charging
To take the battery off the bike you will need to put the alarm in to Service Mode which is very annoying as the bike will beep every 10s or so. Just leave it on the bike and charge it up.
Get the pin override done. ps. Note that the newer System 4 has a complete shutdown mode, but it leaves the bike imobilised. Also with S4, make sure you have a Pin set as there is no way to get inside the unit to disconnect the internal battery unlike the S3 which allows you to reprogram remotes even if you have forgot the pin. |

When I had a S3 I used to charge my battery with it still in the bike.
Best thing I ever did was not to have a Datatool fitted to my new bike. They're a complete PIA. |

From memory shakie, no there isn't. The pin thingy isn't very difficult to do, just a bit fiddly. Be sure you don't forget the pin:D |

Re: datatool and battery charging
had the same problem. ended up buying a data tool battery charger. the alarm recognises tampering with the battery as a threat and sounds off. if you use a data tool charger the two recognise one another and will work together, awwwgh.

If you have to set the pin, keep to low numbers as you will get fed up preety quick of using it otherwise!
