Hi all, its been about 3 years since ive fitted a new battery, what do i connect first positive or negative??

Cheers all

Luke

 

connet the positive first

you do this because if you connect the neg first, then tighten up the positive terminal and the spanner touches the chassis it will cause a short

 

good advice as always from the G man

apart from that there is no particular reason why you should connect either first..

ps. you only do the spanner shorting on the bodywork trick once, to learn that Gareth's method is best...

 

cheers all, its so embarrising asking that! but my battery is now dead so got a new one to put in, 88 pound from halfords!

 

For the saff in your sig???? There only £45 from fords as i bought one last week

 

£88!!!!!! fook.. i thought £40 was dear for mine 2 weeks ago,, I haven't been to halfords for years, i know why now

 

its a calcium one with extra starting power and 4 yr gaurantee

 

Don't you mean HalFRAUDS ??

 

Mine has 4 years too

 

i didnt pay 88 quid, but the bloke i brought it of had about 4 months left so i thought i might aswell get one for free, unless its was £44 and it shown 88 as one battery came back and one got brought, so that adds up to 88 quid??!!

 

calcium though son??

 

anyways i gotta go do my battery, thanks for your imput

 

No but i could get 2 ford ones for your one, thats 8years gaurantee, oh well go get it fitted

 

dave i didnt pay for it so whats you fooking point!!
