How long do i get to re-fit the battery terminals so i dont lose the code on the radio ? I have to fit a new battery so it will only take seconds but will i have to re enter the code :-\

What radio?
Long time since I've changed battery on a car with a Vauxhall non-NCDC radio, I was fairly quick last time but still needed the code :-\

Not sure but think i swapped a battery over once and never had to re-input the code , guess only one way to find out :( New battery just been delivered and its the proper full size jobby , not like the one someone fitted .. a half size one >:(

No jump leads then?

Just what I was going to suggest, Rob, but Mr. EMD might find it more convenient to apply a 12 v source via the cigar lighter socket? Any old charger would suffice for the source.

You mean stick the positive into the socket , i only have a trickle charger with a battery clamp on the wire's to connect though :(

Understood. Well, unless you have a spare plug with loose wires you are better off following Rob's suggestion and clamping your charger leads onto the battery clams, then when you unbolt the battery you will still have power to the radio, etc - then no drama!

Fair enough and thanks again Mr Rob and Mr Ron for the tips ;)

No, ciggy socket is a switched feed, as Rob says across your battery terminals with another battery, as your charger may not be regulated without a battery load connected.
