viper alarm

[accord98lx]

I got a viper alarm system for the car. Theres a Blue LED light mounted in the car and it flashes once per second when the alarm is armed. The place that installed my alarm is closed right now so I might get an answer here.

Does the alarm system drained the battery ALOT?? The LED seems pretty bright so Im a bit worried. On the EX accord models, they have a red flashing light in the car but its not as bright..(Maybe because its not LED? )

Now my car has keyless entry, remote trunk popper and it also have a shock sensor..hehe I barely kicked my tired that hard and the alarm went off. =)

An LED shouldn't draw much power at all......have you checked if the cars battery is going bad?

The led could stay on for probably a week straight before it had any sort of effect on the battery.

LED is known to not waste energy, if you've seen those new flashlights that use LED. a battery can last years in those flashlights because no energy is converted to heat most conventional lights. and thats off a battery you buy at eckerds or something...so don't worry, LED is the way to be;)

and I don't know what you're saying about the EX model being different...I got a Hornet alarm and its red..my friends Viper alarm is blue..I guess it just depends on the alarm brand

no..i was just worried it was draining my battery because its kinda bright..

the 2000 EX accord model have a stock alarm. Its red and its not bright..I dont think its LED.

heh, a led can go for a long long time before it drains the battery. the only time i've seen a led waste a battery it's when i burnt it because i put 12v in in instead of 1.5 v

Your dome light takes more power than your alarm led light.
