Technically, I'm not allowed to unplug this device unless the port needs to be used for something else, like diagnostics.
I'll look into some standalone battery chargers and see if those work.

According to their web site:
"6. Will the Pulse drain my car’s battery power?
The Pulse device should have little to no effect on a healthy car battery. Even if your car isn’t being driven, the pulse will not drain a healthy battery for several months."
I would suggest that you give your fresh battery a go first.
OR you could hook up your car to a "battery tender".
Personally, I don't like to leave things plugged into my car's OBD-II port.
