Munch, a car battery has enough amp power to kill you. Its not about voltage matey. As for disconnecting the battery for the ECU, it can take into effect the induction kit better, but normally will result in no change as the ECU is constantly updating and changing itself everyday you drive. If the car did not splutter and nearly stall after reconnecting the battery, it wasnt properly wiped.

I think there is a way of stopping the alarm going off after the battery has been disconnected. Any ideas what it is folks? I think its disconnecting the battery within 30seconds of de-activation.
