2016 Aurion - Memory keeper 4 battery change?

[Doctor Death]

Hi there, I'm going to change the battery on the 2016 Aurion ATX (great car btw). Can anyone tell me whether it's necessary to use one of those memory keeper/saver thingimees to ensure the vehicle doesn't lose any important settings?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Doctor Death,

I can say from experience that when I replaced my battery a few years ago, nothing changed in my settings. Swapped the batteries, turned on the car and everything was as it was. I suspect the ECU's capacitance storage may have enough power stored in it just for this very thing. If left for days with no battery, then I would think the memory will be wiped as the power slowly discharges.

Let us know how you go mate.
