Great job. Don’t forget anytime there’s only one cable attached to a battery, you want it to be the positive one. Therefore when you reinstalled the cables after replacing the battery, you wanted the positive battery first, then the negative not vice versa just a extra safety measure.
@@ElectroAtletico - but he stated it as it was valid anytime. If I told you red first black last when dealing with your battery that would be wrong half the time. Just clarifying thanks
Correct. If you're doing the replacement battery or electrical maintenance work. You start with disconnecting the ( - ) and then the ( + ) and do what you have to do. When everything is all set and ready. You can now reconnect the ( + ) first and then the ( - ) for the finish. That's it.
So, Just a suggestion. I like to plug the "memory saver" into the vehicle's port before I attach it to the 12v. source, just so there are no issues wiggling the plug into the vehicle. Probably not a huge deal. Just me.
For people saying positive goes first… You’re not wrong but the whole point of taking the negative cable off first and putting it on last is so that the body of the car is not grounded while you’re messing with the positive terminal. This is so you don’t short something if your wrench touches a metal part in the engine bay while you’re removing/attaching the positive cable. Given the fact that he was using a driver, which has a mostly plastic housing, and most of the engine bay is plastic, it really doesn’t matter in this case as there was really no risk. But yes it is good practice to put the positive back on first.
This looks like a pretty good solution. A couple of hours ago I ordered from Amazon a memory saver that goes from the OBD2 port to either a 9v battery or an electrical wall outlet. I think my choice sounds pretty good too.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make a video for folks who might not know any better! If a person does buy the battery jumper from Noco it will also boost batteries if needed and is portable. So a person gets to excellent uses.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing such valuable information! Shout out to all technicians doing the most to stay informed and informing others on service procedures! 👍
Without a keeper, taking off the negative first keeps an accidental short from the positive to chassis (e.g. with a wrench) from causing a problem. When using a keeper, you need to protect that loose positive cable from touching some metal part of the car connected to chassis ground. Otherwise, you will short the keeper voltage, maybe blowing the OBD2 fuse, maybe blowing the keeper, and likely defeating the purpose (keeping memory) by shorting the voltage to zero. Don't leave the positive dangling uncovered.
Glad to see Mechanics are getting some direct profit from their tools and expertise. Wife just paid $60 labor at the dealers to install a new battery. Video's show about a 10 minute swap time (if that) What sawed me off was it looked like they stripped all my wax-on off the car when they ran it through their "free wash" - wish they'd of asked or notice it had a deep shine to it or something.

thanks for the video. can i use this kind of device to keep my baiid device powered on while changing parts such as a starter, alternator or any other electrical device on my truck, or does this send power to all those other things also? rendering my maintenance just as dangerous as having the battery connected?
Okay so if have to do a repair that requires disconnecting the battery won't this memory saver interfere just as much as having the battery connected even with the battery disconnected since this memory saver is practically doing the same job as the battery ?
I think the memory is in the memory saver, not the onboard computer. After the new battery is connected, the memory downloads and, thus, the settings are retained. If you need to disconnect the battery for repairs on the car, the memory is retained in the saver.
Cool video I wanted to ask can you change the battery and not lose the memory or settings while the car is running and disconnect the battery and change it out will that affect anything on the car 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌️
hi Snap On, thanks for uploading this tutorial. what makes the GB-70 support a memory save function as opposed to the GB-40 version? just trying to understand better.
Hi! Can I use one of these when connecting my multimeter in series with the battery terminal to test for parasitic drain / current or would it mess up the readings?
I studied this & other videos, including this one, bought this “brand” & followed instructions. Result? My “crucials” - battery, engine, lights, door/trunk locks & A/C work properly BUT MY RADIO & CD, CONTINUALLY & RANDOMLY CHANGE SONGS/STATIONS, I CAN’T SET MY CLOCK & MY CONTROL SCREEN WON’T RESPOND TO REPROGRAMMING‼️ Can I restore these myself?
Why did you put 124R instead of the AGM battery is had? Correct me if I'm wrong or did you put in the wrong battery. Looks like you needed to put in an H7AGM
Do you HAVE to use the memory tools or does it permanently mess things up to point you can't reset things without paying a mechanic? Or is it a matter of just resetting clock and radio station preferences? Asking for my daughter who's dumb about cars.😅 I want her to see the answers. 😂

I’ve been told that I need to torque absolutely everything but for years all the techs I know don’t torque anything. Just wanted to know your opinion on whether tech’s have to/should torque everything.
@@TheSnapOnToolReview I recently tried to use a memory saver on a 2022 car. It was a cigarette lighter male plug to obd2 port. I used a 12v 10 amp source and I blew a fuse that was stating itself to be 7.5 amps. Now I am seeing this video use a battery source that I believe produces way more amps at 12 volts. I checked on amazon and your jumpstarter provides 15amp at 12 volts. How the heck did you not blow a fuse? Perhaps that car has a higher fuse in the obd2 port circuit? Im trying to make sure because i cant find any good answers anywherw
this procedure is good for any car with OBD port? how to know beyond what year are considered "modern"? isn't there a risk of frying the ECU doing this? thanks
I have the gb70 boost not the genius I'm wondering if I can do the same thing swapping a battery the light didn't go on the memory saver when I plugged it to the 12v out
You took - than + than you put - than +. Very logical ! And you don't need that expensive NOCO or any other 200 dollars jumo starter. All you need is that OBD cable, of course, plus a little 12 V - 5 Amps AGM battery that costs about the same as the OBD cable. You than cut the lighter connection and hook up the two wires on + and - of the little AGM battery. That 5 Amps can keep the ECM running for days, if needed. If you want it to keep the ECM alive just as long as you change the main battery, like an hour or so, you can go even cheaper by buying a 2 Amps or 3 Amps battery. I have the little battery glued in a box, for practicality, along with the OBD cable and I used it 4 times in the last 8 month without the need to recharge it. One of those 4 times, I kept the ECM alive for more than 24 hours, I wanted to properly recharge my main battery. So, you just open the box and take out the OBD connector and you connect it to the car and all is done, the ECM will have power. It's a very practical and very cheap project.
@@bmw12347 Nothing at all ! Just don't touch the + and - car's terminals OR the + terminal to any part of the car. There is still current flowing from the little battery all the way to the battery terminals. It will keep all the electronics alive while you finish changing the battery or even while you charge it for a day or two away from the car, if that's the case. You can pick any amperage-hour from 2 to 10 and it will do the job well !
I connected my OBD2 saver plug into the OBD2 port of my car, and then connected to cable to the booster box. It did not save the codes. I noticed you connected the booster to the OBD2 plug first and then plugged it into the OBD2 port. I wonder if that's what I should have done.
My Audi Q7 requires us to reprogram the car after changing the battery. Would this save me from programming the car when I change the battery? I just wanna make sure.
I need that. Year's ago ( like 1987) I bought a Blue Point battery saver that was just a 9 volt battery plugged in to the cigarette lighter, never worked on any vehicle. I still have it around somewhere. Thanks for the update on how not to piss off your wife when you change her car battery 😎.
Ok i have a jumpack that’s portable like this but it doesnt have a cig port only usb. What if i get a adapter that is usb to cigarette port from amazon for 5$ will that work. Then use the memory saver cable
VW/Audi including BMW,the computer gets wiped out completely when the Battery is changed and has to be reprogramed again.Luckily at my dad's shop,have the GM Tech 2 to unlock the radios.Lot of the radios are programed to the vehicle now
Aside from the fact that your old battery already had carrying handles, you attached the negative terminal first when installing the battery. Crazy!!!!
You made two mistakes, the first is, you forgot to warn that the positive terminal when disconnected it's still live, so if it touches the body or engine there will sparks - ie a short to earth, easy way to do this is just to roll your rubber glove over it when you disconnect the positive terminal. And when replacing a battery you always disconnect the negative first as you have done. but then you went wrong you always connect the positive first and the negative terminal last.
Speed should never be the apparent focus of any operation. It leads to critical mistakes. Ditch the screw gun. Use hand tools and impress your viewers with the planned sequenced execution of your tasks.
I got a question??? If the battery is dead all the way where the clock resets to 12:00 will that screw up everything when you jump start it and shut down all of those extra gadgets? I WAS a tow jockey for 20 years and came off the road and going to school to become a tech. I'm sorry I haven't towed in the last 4 years. Is this an issue with all push button starts? OR? A common courtesy for your customer? But you claim that it could keep the windows from rolling down? So what's the deal?
Atypical dealer LOF upsell. Show me the printout from the battery analyzer that my battery tests bad. Most OE batteries should easily give you 5 to 6 years of service, so unless the tech walks me to the car and either shows me my 3 year old 650 CCA OE battery is causing considerable acid leak corrosion damage to my cable clamps and Hyundai will prorates the battery for half off cost ,plus only .3 labor I'm not biting. LOL
I had a customer car not wanting to start. Battery terminal corrosion like crazy. Tested the battery and found that was the problem. (Newer gen Ford Focus) I put in a new battery and the car would never start. Found out that during the battery swap the PCM fried. Another guy I work with said focus’s are bad about that, and when terminals corrode they start corroding through the battery cables right to the pcm and when you change a battery it triggers it to fail. Does that sound correct or could a simple thing like in this video prevent that from happening? Thanks!

Why is the negative cable going back on first? Your supposed to put positive on first then the negative on last as its earthed/ground
Did everything correct except replace the battery connectors. Should have reconnected the positive first, just as you removed it after the negative.
