AutoMeter Battery Memory Saver
When precision matters in automotive electrical maintenance, AutoMeter brings six decades of instrumentation expertise to the battery memory saver category. The SPS-12 Smart Power System provides power through the vehicle's OBDII port or 12v outlet (with optional adaptor) to keep vehicle computer systems supplied with power when the battery is disconnected or removed. This smart approach to power continuity reflects the same engineering philosophy that has made AutoMeter a trusted name in professional racing and automotive diagnostics since 1957.
What Sets AutoMeter's SPS-12 Apart
AutoMeter Test Equipment Division produces professional grade automotive battery and electrical chargers and testers for automotive repair and vehicle fleet maintenance. The SPS-12 represents this commitment to professional-grade tools. Unlike basic memory savers, The SPS-12 also accurately monitors for parasitic electrical draw that could cause the battery to discharge when the vehicle is not in use. This dual functionality makes it both a memory preservation tool and a diagnostic instrument—essential for technicians who need to identify electrical issues while performing battery service.
Also preserves your customer's radio/infotainment settings, memory and engine/transmission adaptations. Modern vehicles store critical calibration data that goes far beyond radio presets. Adaptive learning parameters for transmission shift points, idle control strategies, and fuel trim values can all be lost during battery replacement, potentially requiring expensive dealer recalibration. AutoMeter's system prevents these costly complications.
Professional Design for Reliable Power Delivery
Direct AC power connection insures 100% uptime during battery-out service with no need to charge unit. Purpose built to provide regulated voltage ensuring safe operation while converting 120 VAC to 14VDC. This AC-powered design eliminates the common problem of auxiliary batteries draining during extended service work. The regulated 14VDC output protects sensitive electronics from voltage fluctuations that can occur with improvised memory saver solutions or discharged backup batteries.
The versatility of the SPS-12 addresses both modern and older vehicle platforms. Memory Saver retains Vehicle Memory Settings when Battery is Disconnected, OBDII capable & Cigar Adaptor Compatible for older cars This dual-connection capability makes it valuable for professional shops that service a wide range of vehicle years, from pre-OBDII classics to the latest computer-controlled models.
Why Battery Memory Savers Matter for Modern Vehicles
For many late model vehicles, disconnecting the battery without a memory saver tool can cause all kinds of chaos with a wide range of vehicle systems and functions. Specifically, they can be initialized or coded, and you may need to recode the battery to the vehicle, use a factory scan tool, or complete a relearn procedure to fix errors and restore functionality. The cost and complexity of these relearn procedures make a quality memory saver like the AutoMeter SPS-12 an essential tool rather than a convenience item.
AutoMeter's heritage in racing instrumentation and professional test equipment translates directly to the reliability demanded by technicians and serious DIY enthusiasts. Its compact handheld design makes it a convenient tool for technicians and vehicle owners alike. When battery service requires preserving complex vehicle settings and monitoring electrical health simultaneously, AutoMeter's battery memory saver solutions deliver the professional-grade performance that has defined the brand for over 60 years.
