Re: Which battery lead to disconnect?



I think its simply that the earth cable is normally a single lead, whereas
the power post often has a multitude of extra wires attached.

Subject: Which battery lead to disconnect?

Esteemed Digestables,

I have often been puzzled by books recommending one to disconnect the
negative lead from
the battery before working on the vehicle. I have tried to fathom out the
logic why it
must be the negative lead and not the positive. If any one has a definitive
article which
explains why this should be so I would appreciate knowing about it.

I have an alternative theory, but I would like to get some other opinions
before
disclosing what it is.
