implications if i take my battery out of my Corsa?

hi there, my battery on my 95 Toyota corsa is weak. i was thinking of replacing it. but i am wondering if there are any implications of removing the battery .

its a turbo diesel so i dont know if it has computerised engine management like petrol fuel injected models do. i think its automatic transmission is computerised too. it also has an alarm.

will its computer memory 'reset' if i just swap the battery the normal way? anyone who changed their toyota's battery willing to share his experience? thanks

Might lose your radio. check for a code sticker before you do this.

Any computerized engine stuff will be taken care of for you, so don'tworry about that.

modern cars can be a pain after battery disconnection, so I try to never disconnect all power when changing batteries. I have specialised battery backup units (in the trade) but there is no reason not to just use the batteries you have, you need a couple of sets of jumper cables, cheap lightweight ones are fine or make you own from some household cable, they won't have to carry serious current. connect your new battery to an earth and a power point on the vehicle, remove the old battery and using the second set of cables reconnect the old battery to earth and power on the car (you can use the same points you used earlier, but don't disconnect the new battery till the old is attached, ) then undo the new battery from the temp connection and fit properly, then disconnect the old battery. it does not actually take very long at all.
