Changing battery without losing settings

Our RB1 needs a new battery, how do I change it without losing settings/remote code etc etc? Or is it an auto sparky job only?

Jumper leads on terminal clamps so it keeps the charge while the battery is removed.

If you have another battery you can hook it up down the line, jumper leads etc, can be a tiny battery, like house alarm etc, then disconnect your main wires, at the battery shop they plug a small house alarm battery into the cig lighter or accessory socket, so long as 12 volt and a couple of amps your all good.

rb1 odyssey? it wont lose remote code just radio settings and time. safe to disconnect battery. otherwise as above but you still need to be carefull not to short terminals out that includes if you plug something into cig lighter

Cheers, good to know. Radio not important as only use the sound container anyway, yep always really careful with terminals etc. Cheers

Would have to have ignition key in accessory position because most cig lighter sockets only become "live' when key is accessory or ignition position.
