USB OBDII Memory Saver Cord

The Steelman 60019 connects a standard USB power bank to a vehicle's OBDII port. It preserves stored radio codes, clock settings, and alarm configurations during battery replacement. The tool is intended for DIY owners and technicians who want to avoid reprogramming electronic modules. A built-in LED confirms the connection is active and secure.

5 V 2.1 A Power Bank Required

The cord draws supplemental power from any 5 V 2.1 A USB power bank, not from the vehicle itself. This arrangement keeps the on-board memory circuits alive while the main battery is disconnected. The three-foot cable length provides enough reach to position the power bank conveniently inside the cabin. No additional adapters or vehicle-specific connectors are needed for standard OBDII ports.

Sustained Low-Current Operation

During a typical battery swap the device supplies a continuous low current for the duration of the service. The LED indicator remains illuminated as long as the power bank delivers sufficient voltage. It is not designed to start the engine or run high-draw accessories while the battery is removed. Users seeking to power lighting, infotainment, or climate systems during service will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 amp power bank limit how long the memory saver can hold settings during a long battery swap?

The cord draws up to 2.1 amps from the power bank, so runtime depends on the bank's capacity; a larger bank extends the window.

Does the three-foot cable or LED indicator create noticeable heat or electrical noise while powering the OBDII port all day?

The cable carries only low-voltage 5 V power and the LED is a simple status light, so neither generates significant heat or audible noise.

What must I already own to use the 60019 memory saver cord?

You need a 5 V USB power bank capable of supplying 2.1 amps and a vehicle with a standard OBDII diagnostic port.
