Which Battery Terminal Do I Remove First. When installing a battery. Remove the ground which is the negative black -.
From personal experience you dont want to accidently short the positive terminal to ground while removing it. You should always remove the NEGATIVE terminal cable first. DISCONNECTING YOUR BATTERY.
There is no electronic electrical reason to do it in this order.
Doing so will create a short since the negative terminal is grounded to the frame and fuses will pop tools can melt and the battery could explode. Disconnect the grounded terminal first when removing a battery that is already installed in a car. The wrench I was using to loosen the positive terminal touched the frame and completed the circuit. The grounded terminal should be disconnected first to ensure that a battery dead-short does not occur should the spanner disconnecting the other one contact a nearby grounded metal part.
