When changing a battery in a vehicle, do you have time before losing your radio settings or tranny shift points, etc. when removing the old battery?

yes you do unless you provide other 12 volt power such as plugging a jumper battery into the cigarette lighter. if not the cars computer will re learn and you must re set your radio stations.

Radio settings are usually lost when battery is disconnected. Not sure about other question

Some high line vehicles retain that information in a secondary control unit. Unfortunately the majority do not. I recommend writing down all of your preset stations prior. Also remember to always disconnect the negative terminal first.

My radio stations stay programmed in but I lose all my bass, treble, equalizer setting etc... I have never had a programmer so I cannot fully answer this question either.

No batt. backup -- however when replacing with fresh batt you have 3 min. to replace w/fresh batt. before the presets are lost. I have never lost presets since there's always enough power to hold the presets until you replace the batteries. Batt. have a long life.

Yes, the clock and preset stations will have memory long enough to change the battery.

You don't change this battery, you recharge it. If the battery has failed it will need to be returned to the manufacturer.

More than likely you will need a reset code. You can google how to reset/unlock the radio from scratch. Its a simple procedure. You can set in your own reset code prior to disconnecting the radio and then use that when you re-connect the radio. Your vehicle hand book should have that procedure in it.

You need to make sure the batteries have the same form factor. The one that came with my radio is cylindrical, roughly 5/8" in diameter and 2 11/16" long. From your description of the proposed battery change the voltage is fine and additional charge is also fine. But with more charge capacity usually comes higher physical volume so look out for a different (bigger) form factor. Incidentally, why do you want to upgrade the battery? The radio will run with the existing battery on one charge for a lonnnnng, long time. Hector

yes, I don't know how long it gives you to change batteries but you won't lose presets if you change batteries if you do it quickly. Still, I would look for a digital radio, not a digital read-out, if I were you. Insigna made one but they no longer sell it at Best Buy.

No, but this is a wonderful portable travel radio. We keep it our car and it takes up hardly any space. I have never replaced the batteries and have owned it for years. I never leave it on long either...but it has helped several times!

Its just to make it easy to pull the battery out once it has been installed. Suggest you leave it on the battery so you can get the battery out when it needs replacing.

According to the manual, the stored frequencies are maintained even with the batteries removed "for a long time". The clock and temperature functions still workwith the batteries removed for several minutes during a simulated battery change....could possibly be much longer. Hope this helps.

I owned the radio for only a few months. The radio worked great in every way. However, I dont think the battery can be easily replaced.

Yes if you remove the battery there is a small clear plastic piece that is blocking the battery from the radio. Once you remove it your radio will be good to go!

I have never used the manual setting, but have 5 of the chargers and just set them on the type of battery and leave them on permantly. The golf cart, motorcycles, etc. and have not had to replace a battery in over 4 years now. If I could find my manual, it might tell if it goes into the charge mode! Good Luck, Jim

According to the very small users instructions that came with the password vault, your data is stored in flash memory and nothing is lost during a battery change. I would take that to mean the same is true if the battery dies and isn't replaced right away.

You would have to wipe and reprogram it to change vehicles. Basically a factory reset

Good question! I'm gonna say 5 min to remove and replace the battery. I only use 1 battery. I can see how it would be inconvenient to have multiple batteries. This bumper case is screwed together.
