Re: ??Best method to keep the battery charged while editing?? There are issues with AC charges, in that the current put out by them tends to be "dirty". The safest bet is either to get a good battery, or if you want extra insurance get one of the 12V jump packs and hook that up.

Re: ??Best method to keep the battery charged while editing?? I usually hook up my charger, didn't know it was a bad idea. I hook that up to the battery and then run an ext cord for the laptop as to make sure that doesn't die for unknown reason. No problems so far.

Re: ??Best method to keep the battery charged while editing?? This is not like HPP. It only takes 2 minutes to program 
. If your battery won't stay up for that long you're not going anywhere anyway 
Yanking the e-brake before turning the key on will disable the DRLs on a Firebird. Don't know what it does on a Camaro (which is funny since I have one ) , I know they have a different system. I'll try it tonight.
I'm usually more worried about the laptop BATTERY dying - maybe that's what you actually meant??
