What do you guys do to preserve settings (like ECU mostly) when taking out the battery?

Do it right, use Hammerite.

There are gadgets to buy that are like a charger and plug into mains that give a trickle current to maintain voltage while the battery is out but I wondered if anybody used them.

nope

only use for sub-zero temps as bat will die of if you rarely if ever use the vehicle.

in those cases fit one of these:

May have our wires crossed. I am talking about something that we attach to the battery leads while the battery os off the car as I have some rust issues to attend to in the engine bay. I want to keep the ECU and Radio settings while the battery is temporarily out.
