Tip of The Day
Disconnecting & reconnecting the battery
If you are going to do any work on your car involving the electrical
system, then make sure that the battery is disconnected. The proper
method to disconnect the battery is to remove the negative cable first
& then the positive.
But why negative & then the positive? – This is because the chassis of
the car is connected to the negative cable. If the positive cable is
removed first, then when the tool makes contact with the vehicle
during the work could result in a short circuit. By cutting off the
negative first, the return path of the current is blocked & hence
there won’t be a possibility of an electrical short.
While reconnecting the battery, follow the reverse order - connect the
positive terminal first & then the negative for the same reasons. When
you slip the negative connector on, there will be a spark as it gets
close & makes contact with the terminal because of the return path of
the current. Make sure that the terminal caps are done up nice &
tight.
