Question keeping digital radio data w/ 9volt battery

Okay, I've got the plug for the cig. lighter and the 9 volt battery, but how do I plug this in. Should I plug it in with the 12 battery still connected? Or should I disconnect that first and then plug the 9v in?

You plug it in first then dissconnect the battery,that way your radio never loses power.

yeah, sounds dumb to ask but I just don't want to fry my electronics and the wiring in the truck. Thanks

Just be careful not to leave a door open, trunk lid or such as not to draw current from the 9V. It will drain it quickly.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
