Are memory settings retained if battery is removed?
Are the memory settings (driver's seat position, radio presets, a/c settings, DIC options, etc) retained if the battery is disconnected for a long period of time? ie, are they saved in non-volatile memory? Or do you lose all that?
Thanks

If you have a Delco radio with TheftLock turned on (red LED blinks when car is turned off) then either turn off TheftLock or be sure you have the radio code before disconnecting the battery. With TheftLock on the radio won't work after reconnecting without inputting the correct code.
See your Owner's Manual to see if your radio has this feature and more details on how it works.

when I changed my battery, I used 10 gauge wires clipped to an extra battery clipped on the alternator battery lug and to the alternator bracket.
everything stayed good, and then unclipped the wires
