Computer memory saver

I bought a Computer Memory Saver product to hopfully save electronic memories when a have to replace my battery.
Its the type that you plug into the cars 12 volt assessory outlet or lighter and snap a 9 volt battery on to the other end of the wire.
Has anyone used this device and does it work well?

I prefer to let the computer reset when I remove the battery. It clears a lot of stuff!

All you need to make one is a standard male 12v lighter plug and a female 9v plug both can be found a Radio Shack as well as many other vendors.

I have a battery maintainer that plugs into the cig lighter... I would assume it would serve the same purpose.

Any thoughts to the contrary?

Memory saver for 2000 and beyond cars

I read a notification on a 9 volt memory saver that says that 2000 and beyond cars needs 10.5 volts and the 9 volt lighter system does not work for those cars. I want to know if it really work for a 2003 vette. Thanks
