Default Replacing Mazda5 car battery

New member here. Got some questions regarding replacing my 2006 Mazda5 car battery,
1. Is it safe to use this memory safer from amazon to connects to the car OBII port when swapping the battery? I can use the 8 AA cell battery box for the hook up. I don't have a spare 12v battery.
Amazon Amazon

OR
2. I have this DC power supply for radio control car. It is basically a transformer with a voltage adjust dail from 9 to 13.5 volts with 3 amps continous current. Can I connect this at 13.5 volts to the car battery positive and negative cables or connects to the above amazon memory safer to avoid losing ECU, windows and fob key data while swapping the battery?


Thanks for yor help! Very much appreciated.

It’s safe but you can do anything be mistake when changing the main battery. This includes the exact proper cable and reconnect procedures on the battery terminals.
