Battery Replacement ?
Was going to take my battery out and replace it next week. Found a deal on a great battery that goes on sale next week but the store charges 12.99 to change batteries. No thanks. Does a 2000 Expy EB require you keep a live battery hooked up for the memory or can you take it out for a few hours to replace it. Tks

Not sure what a "jump box" is but the store sold a device for about $10. May as well have them do it for $3 more. So if i only loose am and FMA no big deal. Don't want it to mess with power seats, mirrors etc or will you loose this stuff?

They also make little cigarette plugs that take a 9v battery for just this purpose. My suggestion, just swap it in the parking lot, there will be a core charge so you will need to give them the other battery back anyway. Power will be off for a few minutes, tops.

I changed my battery and power was only disconnected for 5 minutes, tops. I didn't lose anything in that short time.
