New battery

[Grumpy Goat]

Sam, yes you are right - for safety reasons the negative is the first to come off and the last to go on, on vehicles which have a negative ground.

In this case I was a bit sloppy and took the positive off first, but on the RS, the remote positive terminal is not a pole but a recessed threaded hole once the screw is removed so there is no safety issue. Still, it is better to have the habit of disconnecting the negative terminal first.
