    Guys,

    I need to take my battery off and clean the acid off

    will I lose any settings in my radio or dash?

    No I was just curious if it loses anything if it’s disconnected a certain amount of time

    I’ll need to go in and make sure I know what they setting are so I can go back and put them

    On my 2015, I believe I lose some settings (it has been a while). Also, the first time I start my truck, following the battery being disconnected then reconnected, it always dies the first time it is started.

    I've had my battery unhooked for well over an hour when wiring up my amp. I don't remember anything bad.

    They make an OBD plug that connects to a 9 volt battery for changing out batteries, etc.
