Exactly what he claims.

Works great. I used a portable power supply; I suppose it might have enough range to get to the other car's exit, but that definitely means the cars have to go door to door.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Low maintenance

They break on cigarette lighter wires

I would give this one more stars except. This is my second. They break on the cables that go into the cigarette lighter socket. I glued the second one to give it more strength.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • secret

Worked for me - 2013 Acura RDX

I don't really know if it was necessary (never used it on previous battery changes) but I hooked it up to a portable, replaced the battery and that was it Well . no drama Seat/mirror profiles saved. radio ok. Custom jpeg on dashboard. It doesn't look like the computer needed to relearn anything.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some little things

Works great - code readers and scan tools

Makes car battery replacement so much easier. I connected one end to the OBD II port of the car I was servicing and the other end to the other car's cigarette lighter. It came out fine. This saved me $50 from someone having to replace my battery and I can keep using it. I also really appreciated not having to buy a special jumper block for this specific purpose. A simple solution to a simple problem.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Doubt

Easy to use and great performance

When you need to change the battery in a car built after 2000, you need one to power the car's many electronic systems. EZ Red supplies power from another vehicle's 12V power socket (original cigarette lighter socket). The cable is long enough for easy access if you can park cars nearby. A practical indicator shows whether power is present. The other end connects to the vehicle's data port, which requires a battery change. Then you can easily replace the old battery. Time doesn't matter as…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

No Blocking Diode

It comes with a built in fuse in the cigarette lighter end but there is no diode to prevent reverse current. Plugging it into your car's cigarette lighter socket and an external power source allows current to flow back from the car battery to the external power source. For example, if your car battery is 12.5 volts and the external power supply is 11.5 volts, the car battery will try to charge the external power supply. This causes an inrush current to the external power supply. This could…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
