I have a clifford g4 solaris and Im in the process of adding some other features onto it.. such as smart windows 4, glass sensor, backup battery, and proxy sensor..   the backup battery says its not designed to be used as source of power for any of hte accessories but it shows in the diagram that it's the unit that provides power to hte actual security system. say's that its not meant to operate remote start and that that should have its own power.. how would i go bout adding the battery back up? I dont think that i'm supposed to have 2 current sources hooked up to the brain.. or is that how its supposed to be hooked up? thanks guys..

I've always wondered exactly how to go about this too.  It should be the same for any alarm.  Hmmm?

The unit is similar to the DEI back up system. The first reason it cannot be wired in as the primary back up power supply is that the battery is too small.
It will not provide enough current to run anything larger than the actual alarm CPU, or other low level device(s).
That is why I always suggest to those wanting to have a real battery back up system to replace the tiny battery with another 12 volt 7.5 AH battery, whether it be a gell, or a sealed lead acid one.
If you wire them in parallel, it will provide enough current to sustain the sirens, and alarm CPU for many hours.
But do not confuse this with having another SLI battery to remote start your vehicle. If that is your intention then you will need another actual automotive battery to do the job you're wanting.
Wiring the system is pretty straight forward. You will wire the red to the 12 volt constant, black to ground, orange to 12 volt ignition, and the other end to what ever device that needs to be powered upon power failure.
Some of the units will have another wire to inform the alarm upon power failure and will, trip the alarm in that case.
