New battery installation warnings

[Tonyrodz]

I’ll have the negative terminal disconnected while I install my new HU one of these days.. So if I buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MPY0DNI?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
Can I just disco the negative cable from the battery, and use the same battery to power the battery saver? I don’t see why not.

I think that would work.

yes as long as you connect it first before you disconnect the battery and make sure it doesn't accidentally come off, if you have a battery charger you could just use that as well just hook the alligator clips to the battery charger clips.

Thanks! Yeah the battery charger is the other thing I was considering. Probably a better option

I use one similar to this and just hook it up to my jump pack...

eh, just remove and replace don't try to lick it like a 9v and you'll be fine, there is a fender bracket in the way that needs to come out and then the battery holder is down on the fender side you will need about a 8" extension to reach it.

I thought I was the only one that licked 9V batteries. Who knew!!

I got a Thanksgiving card in the mail Friday from the GMC dealership I bought it from that has a $25 gift certificate/coupon in it. I may look into just having them do it if the price is decent with that coupon.

These are standard lead cell rather than agm, I assume?

Yes, although they do sell a acdelco labeled agm, but it's the same battery everybody else sells with there label on it.

Probably more of us -- I mean you -- out here than you can imagine!
