Maintain, charge, and desulfate your 12V battery without ever opening the hood. This replacement OBD2 connector plugs directly into your vehicle's On Board Diagnostic port -- typically located under the dashboard near the brake pedal -- and connects to any 12V BatteryMINDer charger, maintainer, or conditioner for hands-free battery care.
The BatteryMINDer OBD2 Connector is a purpose-built replacement accessory designed for RV owners, fleet operators, and everyday drivers who want a cleaner, faster way to keep their 12V battery in top condition. Instead of popping the hood and clamping onto battery terminals, simply plug this connector into the OBD2 port already built into your vehicle and hook up your BatteryMINDer unit. It's that straightforward.
This is also the updated replacement for the older part number OBD. If your BatteryMINDer kit originally shipped with an OBD connector that has worn out or been lost, this is the correct replacement part.
Plug into the OBD2 port under your dash and connect your BatteryMINDer -- no terminal clamping, no engine bay access.

The port is typically found under the left side of the dashboard, above the brake pedal area. Because it is always accessible from the driver's seat, this connector is especially useful for:
