Great information, hopefully we'll follow your directions. Many years ago I had a battery replaced by one of those discount Auto stores & when the fellow came out he had all the stuff you had talked about! Actually he had upped his protection with a complete face mask a pair of vinyl gloves & a special apron. I remember saying to myself what the heck all of this just to change a battery! Thanks again for your great information.
Looks like we buy jeans at the same store! Also, if you must wear your wedding ring while doing electric, get a silicone ring! Wear the metal ring on date nights! 😁
Some of us old timers recall a time when it was always disconnected and reconnect the chassis battery ground leads or cables first. Doubtful there are any positive ground vehicles or RV's made today. Back in the days of generators and lead acid batteries, both were known to work backwards. Recharging a lead acid battery with reverse polarity if it were virtually discharged will recharge it backwards. While it will not function as well, a lead acid battery can put a BMS controlled lithium battery to shame when it comes to unbridled current flow.
