Changing your car battery can often lead to frustrating resets – lost radio stations, clock settings reverting to default, seat positions gone, and even alarm systems acting up. The Noco Gc035 Obdii Connector Male is designed to prevent these inconveniences, ensuring a smooth battery replacement process.
This simple yet effective tool utilizes your vehicle’s OBDII port to maintain power to the onboard electronics while the main battery is disconnected. The GC035 features a standard Type-A OBD-II 16-Pin connector, compatible with any vehicle that adheres to the SAE J1962 specification for a 12-volt supply voltage. By connecting the NOCO GC035 to an external 12V power source, you provide continuous power, safeguarding all your personalized vehicle settings.
Using the NOCO GC035 OBDII Connector Male is straightforward. Simply plug it into your vehicle’s OBDII port and connect the other end to a 12V power supply, such as a jump starter or another charged battery. This provides a temporary power source, allowing you to safely disconnect and replace your car battery without losing crucial electronic data. This eliminates the need to reprogram settings and ensures a hassle-free battery change.
Important Safety Considerations: The NOCO GC035 is fused at 10 amps for safety. Before use, it is critical to verify your vehicle’s OBDII port fuse rating. Never use the GC035 if your vehicle’s OBD-II fuse is rated below 10A, or if it shares a fuse with sensitive electronic control units (ECUs). Overloading the circuit could cause damage. Furthermore, to minimize power draw during the process, turn off as many electrical components as possible – headlights, AC, radio, and other accessories.
The NOCO GC035 OBDII Connector Male is an essential tool for anyone performing vehicle battery maintenance. It saves time and frustration by preserving your vehicle’s important electronic settings, making battery replacement a far more convenient task.
