Battery Charger Specs:
Read from the link below (and several posts onwards) about charger requirements. The discussion talks about voltage requirements. Others can chime in on their experience but I have the charger with a power supply mode.
Generally you need to have more voltage than required because of voltage drain. IIRC, voltage output should be around 14v.

Battery charger while coding:
I cannot speak about using a regular charger when coding. I use the PS mode when I use my charger. Hopefully others can speak-up. I don't want to assume 100% of others, who may use a regular charger, have not experienced any problems.
USB ODB Cable:
I have no experience with that cable. I use the cable thats made to work directly with the DK (yellow unit). That looks like a cable made to be used with another system I'm not familiar with. Sorry can't help you on this. |
In the fact, you do not need a battery charger when using SSS. Just start the engine when starting SSS, most of modules can be coded or programed when the engine is running (battery voltage over 14v). When coding/programing DME, EGS (facelift) and VTG (facelift), you need to start the engine when SSS checking battery voltage, and swith off the engine and turn to position 2 after SSS checking battery voltage, SSS can complete the whole coding/programing without any problem. However, make sure your battery voltage is over 11v during the coding/programing, if your battery's condition is ok, it should keep at 11v or above. I just updated software of my DME, EGS, VTG and DSC by using this method without any problem.
