My bad I thought you meant the little one I still own - that indeed just pulls power from the OBDII port

The big one I used to have, lasted the two years I had it for, no dramas there, longevity, no idea as I don't have it anymore.

I've got the same problem with my GPS though, doesn't hold a charge, all these consumer electronics devices these lithium ion batteries last **** all time then they're junk no longer holding charge etc.
