Changing Car Battery while running Dicktator

Post by Ahmed.Syed »

Hi Guys

Quick question as per the header....

Will I run into any issues of the Dicktator STD unit losing it's settings if I change batteries or can I change it out without any issues of remapping etc etc

Reason being is I may need to consider having the battery changed up as I sometimes experience a slow start on the colder mornings as of recent here in PMB

Looking forward

Thanks
Ahmed

You won't have any issues changing it. The map is saved on the management.

No issues at all.

Disconnect + positive terminal first and then the - negative terminal on current battery. Install new battery in reverse order, by connecting - begative terminal first and then + positive terminal. Do this with ignition switched off.
