A 9V PP3 battery (square ones with terminals on top) will provide enough voltage to keep radio codes, etc. The diode acts like a one-way valve to prevent the car battery from trying to charge it while it's still connected.
I suspect the device on ebay is just that, with some extra flashy lights. Note they don't even include a battery!
Any old 12V battery will do the job - what about a jump-start pack or even jump leads across from another car?

Well thats battery fully charged see how it goes from here.Something else i noticed while i was putting the charger away was that the car was automatically locking its self every 60 seconds.Itried it several times and everytime i unlocked it it locked itself up on 60 seconds.Nothing to worry about i know but i,m just wondering if this is normal when messing with battery or have i hit a button on the dash without knowing it ????

If you unlock the car and don't open a door it will relock as a security measure
