    The Verus as Battery Booster ?

    In 8 years I've never had this happen before. Had the Verus plugged into an 09 Toyota Tacoma with the 17 key. I had the battery charger on the vehicle as I knew the battery was low. I had the key on to check for codes and KOEO data when I went to start the engine. The battery was too low to crank and the draw must have come through the DLC and my Verus freaked out, shut down and rebooted. No apparent damage but I thought that there would be some over load protection built in some where to prevent this sort of thing. Lesson learned, if you suspect a weak vehicle battery, unplug your scanner before cranking the engine.
