So my dealer tells me my 3 year old Interstate battery is testing low and should be replaced. And remarkably, Costco says to bring it in for a replacement no questions asked.
It will take an hour or two to retrieve the replacement. What’s the best way to preserve the car’s electronic memory in the meantime? I have done this with a slave battery connected to the OBD2 connector (attach leads to slave battery, attach to OBD2, remove car battery and reverse process with new battery).
Realizing the consequences of failure can be high, assuming I connect the +/- terminals correctly, is this a safe method? Or are there better alternatives?
Thanks!
