How to disconnect battery on e90 335i?
This may sound stupid but is there a DIY on how to disconnect your battery? Do you just unscrew the negative battery terminal and thats it? What do you do exactly..
Posted this already but either people dont like me or just dont like to help.. |

Just disconnect the terminals. And be careful not to touch them together during the process.

My dealer said the techs don't disconnect the cable from the battery. They disconnect at another location. They try to stay away from the battery terminals because the cables have a small charge embedded in them so to explode during an accident so there isn't a chance of an electrical fire. Just what he told me.

Just disconnect the negative terminal by unscrewing the connecting bolt and remove it away from the battery terminal. It is very safe and won't creat spark with negative terminal.

You'll get the same spark no matter which terminal you disconnect. The reason the negative terminal is the safer of the two is because if you bang the ratchet or wrench against something metal, there's no short circuit created. If you disconnect the + side first and do that, you're going to see what arc welding looks like up close. |
