But I'm playing with fire cuz that's the positive side. And that's metal. That's metal. It's all grounded.

So anyway, we'll pop this one off. That's the uh, the main cable that goes to the starter. I Think let's make sure that's not live. Nope.

    I had an uncle that had a bad battery in a pick-up. We tried jumping it and no luck. So we closed the hood. As soon as we did, the battery exploded. Opened the hood back up to find battery acid all over the engine compartment.

    Always remove negative first

    and that is why you disconnect the negative terminal first

    Folks always disconnect the ground or if changing the battery disconnect the ground first and put it back on last. Its pretty simple if you think about it.

    Take the negative off first. No sparks

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @johnstewart7059 says:

    Well, what you do is disconnect the negative cable(s) first, that effectively remove ground

    It’s simple when disconnecting a battery disconnect ground first then positive, reverse when hooking new battery up positive first then ground 🤦‍♂️ and to believe this guy is a mechanic see why he’s no long at last location 😂

    Disconnect the negative first if it s negative ground system

    We had a battery blow up in an EC225LP helicopter after it was left connected to a charging unit overnight.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @shakerman55 says:

    I had a catalytic converter stop up. It caused the doughnut gasket to let go on the exhaust. The hot exhaust was aimed directly at the battery. It melted a hole in the battery and leaked acid everywhere. It took a couple of boxes of baking soda and a heated power washer to get it cleaned. I sold the car.😁

    Over the years I have been threw 5 battery thermal events 2 while attaching battery charger, anther someone pushed my arm & I ground out, 4 took over job and tech installed cables in reverse, last one was super tight space and battery grounded out

    I learned about battery explosions the hard way. I had a motorcycle battery on the bench charging. Small battery, about the size of 2 bricks. Unhooking the charger, the battery exploded. Blew me (175 lbs.) off the ground backwards onto the hood of my wife's car, covering me and her car with acid. Showered, changed clothes, then at 11:00pm, 40ºF, I'm washing her car in the dark. Other than the mangled plates, the largest battery parts were quarter-size or smaller. Hydrogen and Oxygen do mix–too well. No fire, but the flash looked bright white just like lightning.

    dodge put the battery under the driver seat and had a bar across the top of the battery so over time your weight will arc out any cause fires

    Lauren had to come up with that one, when it did that in your video, I actually jumped and spilt my coffee 😅

    you got me on that!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @Lakeman3211 says:

    I’ll just start this by saying always uncork the negative first….always…even to kill power….!!!!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @brianpiper3188 says:

    I don't have an exciting battery story, but in my early years I made the mistake of connecting negative first and shorting the wrench across positive. I yanked the wrench out so fast that I threw it across the yard. 😆

    I was about to crawl thru my screen and yell WATCH OUT, but the Car Gods were looking out for you. My yaehoo ex husband thought he'd be "cool" one day when i was charging the battery for my car, and test the charge by grounding the posts together with a combination wrench. I didn't get the words out of my mouth before the battery went up like a box of dynamite. Pieces and parts and acid everywhere.
    Winner of the dumb you know what award.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @bobsg35 says:

    Yeah, that startled me.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @scotty2307 says:

    I used to work at a truck repair facility in South Sacramento, CA. I was working on a truck and my co worker had just brought in another truck for service. He had pulled the top off the battery box, under the driver side step plate, and he popped one of the cell caps off the battery to check the electrolyte level. As soon as the cap came off the battery blew up in his face. The entire top of the battery came off with a sound like a 12 gauge shotgun. He was not wearing safety glasses. The boss immediately got him over to the eye wash station and got him all cleaned off. Luckily he sustained no injury from the acid, or flying debris.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @chrismehl1607 says:

    Where else would it be going to worry? Unless it loops back on itself for absolutely no reason, a second battery for the same reason, and the engine is off, that's not gonna be hot.

    You made me flinch, no shit!
    I was racing a buddy at like 1am in my 71 Satellite, he was in a pickup.
    I was passing him doing 110 when all the sudden my entire windshield lit up on fire & went out just as quick. I pulled over & shut the car off. Popped the hood, battery acid everywhere.
    The battery case was split down the side.
    Went & got a new alternator & battery, never had that happen again. It had to be overcharging, lm guessing. I was about 18 & yes l did win the race 💥🔥

    That's why you should disconnect the ground lead first.

    I'll be the first to admit.
    You got me with that one lol.
    (Edit)
    My weirdest battery story for you.
    Died on me, wouldn't take a jump from 3 different vehicles, tried another battery; nothing..left my battery in the cab overnight, threw it in the next morning.
    Takes a jump and started up
