Battery Safety Tip
- Mar 7, 2014
To get started replacing your old battery, make sure you also buy new cables, a wire brush, and terminal ends (optional).
Always remove the negative battery cable from the terminal post beforeĀ the positive. Any sparks from or around the terminals could ignite batteryĀ gasses and cause personal injury.
In addition to having a clean battery and fresh new cables, youāll experience more reliable starting power and performance of your 12V accessories. In this photo, weāre removing the negative cable from its grounding point on the engine block.
