How to safely change the battery without losing the car settings

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Battery

In this video we can see how to safely change the battery of our car, without losing the radio settings and other vehicle settings that may be lost when disconnecting the old battery. Most cars also require a code to reactivate the radio after installing the new battery. It is therefore necessary to equip oneself with a memory saver tool called "Memory saver". We can get one at a good price, for example on Amazon with the code B0CX1KGVBY for 19.99 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers.

First, we must remove the negative pole of the battery, as it is connected to the body and metallic components of the vehicle, so we must be careful to keep it away from any metal part once disconnected, to avoid the risk of short circuit. Normally the battery is secured to the body with a bracket or safety bolts, which we will remove in order to remove the battery. We will carefully clean the tray where the battery was placed from rust and deposits, and place the new battery; reinstall the safety hook and then connect the poles, starting with the positive one and then the negative one. We can remove the charger maintainer!
