Find a 3rd battery or a jumpstart pack or even a battery charger. 12v power supply etc and connect to battery leads. then when you take battery out you'll still have a 12v supply so wont lose codes etc. replace battery and then remove temp 12v supply. Jobs a good un.. Simples!!!

yep what he sez, but if you can switch the chargers output to a lower setting might be better as some of my chargers put out almost 17 volts when switched to max.....
