Re: IML: Bettery Fast Remove Clip question: Safety

I'm not sure I've read it that way, but keep this in mind. You disconnect the negative terminal, and decide to go ahead with changing the starter for example. All it takes is a magical ground connection from your socket wrench to the chassis, or any other ground in the car, and - gentlemen start your engines...

It is ALWAYS recommended in any vehicle service literature or manual that the ground terminal be disconnected FIRST from the battery! This is done so that if one should accidentally make contact with any part of the vehicles metal with a tool, that there will not be an ensuing spark and possible explosion. Once the negative terminal has been disconnected & moved safely away from the battery, the positive can be removed if need be. Safety first at all times.
