Door popper help?

ok so my goal is to install remote door poppers annnd.. umm trunk
then shave it all

so not my concern is. ay my dumb *** gets out of the car locks it. goes inside but leaves my lights on

i come out in the mornign to a dead car :O
how the **** do i get into it hahaha

so here's wut iw as thinking
i would find two types of.. i dunno **** thingers. that are like ont he battery with covers

and mount them under the car hidden ish some where.. with covers. then run them straight to the battery's leads.. this way if the cars battery dies. i can get a boost from someone by just putting the cables under teh car to these lil *****

is this a good idea? iw as thinking of an elaborate electical thing where i had a small battery hidden that if the big one went dead this lil one would activate but only power the alarm/doors. but im not sur ehow iw ould wire that..

any help either wayw ould rock
also im trying to find/buy 3 60-80 lbs selonoids for my doors and ****. cause illw ire thenm into my alarm wen ig et it.

or you can have something that cuts off power to the lights if the car is off and the doors are closed
that would keep you from getting in that situation

put a bypass switch in case you wanna take a night photoshoot of your car with the lights on..

i'm just throwing ideas out.. dont know if it would actually work.. lol
it sounds good in my head

haha run everything off a high amp relay that goes off my ignition power hmm

this way nothing gets power when its off except wut i want i.e. no dead bettery

i think would be kewl if i had a lil 12v back up batteryt hough that only powered my doors/alarm when the main battery died but would keep itself charged

anyone know how i can set this up?

fergsonfire is an unknown quantity at this point
Why not put a mechanical latch release button hidden on the car. Its what most shaved door handle kits(good ones) come with in order to provide a backup, being as door poppers are mechanical and the solenoids only open the latching mechanism. Just throwing an idea out there, but it is generally the easiest way to provide backup with out needing battery assistance.

Just get two batteries and put one on an isolater, run all accessories to one, (lights, HVAC, stereo, etc.) and set the other for ignition and your door poppers.

Or you could get the work done professionally with a good kit and have the backup door wires.

98 accord trunk latch will get you remote trunk access.

and 9 pound soledoids will get you into your car if you install them in the right spot. a 60 pound solenoid (jeez, do they even exist for car apps?) would be enough power to pull BOTH latches, the door mechanism, everything! a 9 pounder cant pull the handles, but it cna pull the latch.

anyways, about your dead battery problem, I think I can solve that too. if you shave your handles, I assume itll be for aesthetic reasons. Now, do a search around 7th gen here and look at what your car will look like with shaved handles. Doesnt look too great, does it? I would consider leaving your handles the way they are.
