The only reason for connecting the positive lead first is so that when you make the final connection, if a spark does happen it wont be near the flammable gases coming out of the battery! However doing this can cause other problems. If you connect the positive lead first, you may cause a spike to go directly to your ECU which will then blow its top and possibly other things along the way. In all my cars and all the cars I work on for a living I always disconnect the positive first and reconnect it last. I do however make sure there is plenty of fresh air passing the engine bay clearing any gases. If you have had much to do with chemistry, you'd realise that connecting the +ve first will do nothing, the electrons (-ve) flow from -ve to +ve, therefore, your electrical flow is actually from -ve to +ve, the reason for this, when a particle is ionised, it looses the electron, (-ve) which moves to an unlike pole (+ve), now to move a proton, you would need to pull apart the nucleus of an atom, when you break an atom, god oh hell some energy can be let loose (Think nuclear fission) The strength in a bond between nuetron and proton is enormous, therefore only the -ve moves freely, therefore, the real way electricity flows is from -ve to +ve, although, scientists still say it flows from +ve to -ve for simplicity... Also, if your Anode breaks down, it can short the battery... [Updated on: Tue, 04 January 2005 09:44] [Report message to a moderator]
