does anyone know how long the lowjack works without the battery in the bike. does it have its own battery

 

i dont know, but...

(1) i believe it doesnt transmit all the time.
(2) i heard it turns on when you call and report that its stolen.
(3) too easy to dc battery so that cops wont bang on a criminals door in 20 mins.

just my thoughts, someone let me know if im wrong. thnx

 

thats a very good question, was wondering the same thing myself
