Review on πŸ”‹ ARTECKIN Alligator Clamp 12V OBDII Car Battery Cigarette Lighter Extension Cable: Memory Saver & Jumper Starter Power Supply Cable by Stephen Burgstaller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product! for diagnostic, testing and measuring tools

My Lexus LS 460 needed a new battery. Being frugal and relatively handy, I decided to take the Advance Auto battery with a discount code and install it myself. When I went to order a battery a red warning appeared saying my car requires professional battery installation and do not attempt to do this yourself. Pretty dire warning, so I did a little research and found that Lexus (and many manufacturers) recommend plugging my car into a different power source when changing the battery so the car doesn't lose its settings/memory. I don't really care, but I've also come across some horror stories of people's cars not starting and the windows not rolling down the old-fashioned way after a battery change, so I decided to invest in this device to power it up maintained during battery replacement. from the battery. It worked wonderfully! Although there are no instructions included with the kit, everything is clear. I connected the alligator clips to the Honda battery, connected the OBD connector to the Lexus, then connected the two cables to the cigarette lighter socket. When replacing, the settings and memory were not lost, the car started immediately.

Pros
  • cable 10 ft / 3 m, can work both with the battery and directly with the car.
Cons
  • No paint required
