Will computer memory be saved if I use this cord to connect the JNC660 Jump'n'Carry to the vehicle's cigarette lighter while the vehicle's battery is disconnected?

No it will not. You have to get the male to OBD II connector. The male end connects to the JNC660 and the OBD II end connects to your vehicles OBD II port. This will power your vehicles computer so that the memory is saved. Just make sure the JNC 660 is fully charged before you begin, and DO NOT disconnect your vehicles battery until you connect the JNC660 to your vehicles OBD II port.

I believe the answer is yes, but only if the cigarette lighter socket is hot when the ignition key is turned off. Some cars the lighter socket is "on" when the key is not in the ignition, some cars the lighter socket turns off with the ignition switch. I happen to have one car of each style.......

I have never disconnected my vehicle battery during charging, Car or bike. The voltage applied from the charger ie equal to the battery so it should have no affect on the electronics. I have a BMW motorcycle and it's fully computer controlled and I keep it on the tender when I'm not riding. I have never had any issues with it being connected. I hope this helps.

Most, but not all, vehicles have the cigarette lighter wired to the battery circuit so that they're "on" no matter if the car is or not. This is the "Batt" connection in your fusebox. If it's wired to the Accessory circuit, then the circuit will only be available when the car is running or the key turned to Accessory. This is the "Acc" connection in your fusebox. It's simple enough to tell before buying this solar panel, just push the lighter in when the car is off and the key out of the ignition. If the lighter gets hot then this will work for you. If not then you'll need to do something else, wire a plug into the fusebox, clip this right on the battery, something else. This comes with both the cigarette plug and alligator clips. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, this won't "pop" out and shut itself off like a cigarette lighter does. That's done by heat in the lighter, not a timer or anything like that.

No. I left this cam recording (with screen turned off) seven long days and it worked flawlessly. My car battery wasn't drained.

I don't know. I thought this was a piece of junk and ended up throwing it in a dumpster. You may need to do the same. If you want a nice jump starter, I recommend a "Jump and Carry" from JNC. I have the JNCAir so I can also use it for filling tires and it works great. Jump-N-Carry JNCAIR 1700-Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter with Power Source and Air Compressor

No. Based on what your saying, with key off cigarette lighter is disconnected from the battery, it must connected to the battery to charge it.

Yes. I installed one on the side of my garage the battery was on so I wouldn't need an extension cord. This devise keeps your battery charged. When I didn't drive my mustang my battery would be dead when I decided to drive it. Now I don't have to worry. It's always a full charge. No more jumping my car which isn't good for your battery and vehicle if you do it a lot.

Newer models have a voltage regulator so they can be left plugged in constantly, but older models didn't have that and could be damaged if left on too long, so you may get mixed messages about this. This is from the description here on Amazon: "The onboard battery automatically stops charging when it has reached a full charge--allowing you to keep the JNC660 connected to an AC outlet indefinitely without causing any harm to the battery." What I've done to insure I'm not leaving a few batteries I have "drained' but am also not leaving them plugged in 24/7 is set a timer on a charger to come on for 15 minutes a day, otherwise I "manual charge" them right after using them.

Absolutely. Cord can be used both with charged and not-charged battery. Just switch power off.

I would say so! I swear by this thing. I keep it with me at all times for my laptop, cellphone. It had enough power to kill my Subaru car battery over night even though the switch was turned to off. Just make sure to unplug it from your car outlet immediately after you are done using it. Have fun camping!

I don't connect it to constant because it could drain your battery. I rely on the back up battery when the car is off.

Yes, as long as you are plug to the 12V and a card inside, it automatically records in 15 mins segments, saves and restarts new files. When the memory is full, it is programmed to over-write the oldiest files (looping). Another word, you can ride across the world many times, never need to charge and worry no juice and no memory.

Yes. My mother has been using it with the cord ever since the battery light came on. She feels it better, why waste a battery.

Hello,It will definitely recharge from a 120v alternate current wall outlet. But the car battery provides only direct current, which cannot be used to recharge the jump starter. So, the cigarette plug is no good in this case. Good luck, A.F.

IF any laptop doesn't have a battery than the plug component may be disconnected as well. Not positive though. It depends on the car some fuses run when the car is off interior lights etc. My Audi's CIG lighter where I plug this device into does not. Sorry

Yes, the power cord that plugs into the accessory socket (cigarette lighter) of the vehicle charges the GPS battery. Further, if power to the socket is turned off when you turn off the ignition, the GPS unit will automatically shut down after 15 seconds, and then will power up again when you turn the ignition switch back on.

It should, I have one on the dash of my Mustang and it is plugged into the cigarette lighter. It does a good job at maintaining the charge. If does not have a enough power to bring a dead battery back to life in any reasonable time. I have another one on my riding mower, for the same reason. It is there to maintain the charge.
