Re: 69 L88 distroyed by fire
Hello again;
Additionally by disconnecting negative first and connecting negative last, there is less chance of an arc causing a battery gas explosion.
There is also the occasion when a battery is connected backwards.
It is more difficult to establish a ground circuit. Momentary positive cable connection establishes a circuit if grounds are connected first.
The early GM diodes can take 110 volts, and live, as shown to students at GM training centers when Delcotrons first where introduced, but later models cannot take the arc at the Delcotron.
Hope this helps.
