Speaking of Walmart, since I've had to replace the batteries in two other vehicles already this year, and expect to have to do the same in Sprocket; I bought a small 9v battery device from Walmart that plugs into the cigarette lighter that keeps enough power to the car to prevent the ECU from resetting, the radio from erasing all the presets, etc.

Cost about seven bucks.

Cheers! M2

Good to know.....and the Wal-Mart battery I've now had for 2 months and a couple of days is performing very well.
