Battery Replacement

I need to replace my two 6 Volt batteries in my 5'r. Do I need to worry about the order of disconnecting and reconnecting the batteries? Negative Versus Positive?


Thanks

since the negative is usually the ground, disconnect it first so if you happen to have the wrench hit a grounded surface when disconnecting the positive, you won't get an arc.
