Product Information
This OBD2 to cigarette lighter power cable is designed to provide 12V backup power to OBD devices or vehicle ECUs during battery replacement, diagnostics or programming. It features a standard 16Pin OBD2 male connector and a car cigarette lighter plug, delivering stable power without modifying the vehicle wiring.
Usage Scenarios
Car Battery Replacement (Memory Protection)
Connect this cable between your vehicle's OBD2 port and a 12V source (another car or portable booster) before removing the main battery. This keeps your clock, radio presets, seat settings, and ECU learning data intact.
Diagnostic System Testing
Ideal for scenarios where the main battery is disconnected for repairs, but external power is required to keep the vehicle's diagnostic and electronic modules powered for testing.
Emergency 12V Power Link
Acts as a bridge for 12V DC power between the vehicle's internal systems and external standardized power sources via the OBD2 port.
