long cranking! never crank for ages!

cranking the starter = lots of current, long time =
hot wires = melting of wires/devices = short

and general auto batteries are not designed for deep
discharge cyles so you could have wrecked it

no matter which way u put on leads they shouldnt spark!!
only a very tiny bit if u have a clock/small device running

the reason of putting on leads in this way and that is because
the negative is connected to the chassis (earthed)... so...

undoing terminals
take off -ve first then +ve

connecting
put on +ve first then -ve

then u wont get shocked by the chassis (which is connected
to the negative) if you touch it when holding the positive
terminal

or

cause a short if the +ve terminal touches the chassis.

you can still be shocked by getting between a post and its
terminal but thats common sense.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap!

i never remember the order lol i just remember to kill the chassis first when disconnecting and activate it last when reconnecting and its all sweet
