Can I just disconnect positive terminal?
No, it won’t. You can disconnect whichever terminal you want, or even both, it won’t discharge. Whichever one you choose results in an open circuit so no current can possibly flow.
Is it OK to just disconnect the negative terminal?
“If someone is going away for a few months over the winter, they should definitely disconnect the battery. It’s the only way to prevent battery drain,” Rashidi said. I would recommend taking the negative battery post out, and wrapping something around the end so it doesn’t touch anything while you’re not there.”

Will car battery drain if negative cable disconnected?
A car battery will naturally “self-discharge” at a rate of 5-15% per month with the negative cable disconnected but is the best option for long-term parking if you cannot hook it up to a charger. Leaving the battery hooked up will drain it at 20% or more per week!
How do I disconnect battery so it doesn’t drain?
Just disconnect the negative and the battery will stay charged. Disconnecting is the only way to keep the battery going without a lot of effort. I use a Battery Tender rather than disconnecting the battery. The Tender keeps the battery properly charged but won’t overcharge it.
Why do you disconnect negative terminal first?
It’s important to disconnect the negative side of the battery first, otherwise you can cause an electrical short if the positive is removed first.
Does disconnecting battery reset ECU?
Will Disconnecting a Car Battery Reset The Computer? The answer is, maybe. Disconnecting the battery for a short time may not do the trick because the car’s computer, or ECU, still has some current in it. Waiting for over 15 minutes after disconnecting the engine will help ensure the equipment is reset.
Will a disconnected battery discharge?
Disconnecting the battery leads, will ensure that the battery does not discharge due to any connected load. That load may small (ICE which is waiting for the remote’s signal, Anti theft devices, Clock or even ECU), but over time it will discharge the battery.
How long can a battery sit disconnected?
When the battery is removed, it can stay for six weeks to 6 months. However, you need to keep recharging the battery over time. Ideally, the battery should be recharged every 12 weeks when the battery is disconnected.
Is it OK to leave car battery disconnected?
When you disconnect your car battery from the car, it helps prevent the electrical systems including the clock and on-board computer system from draining it completely. Therefore, if you leave the car battery unattended for longer period, then it might damage the battery and even need replacement.
Which battery terminal do you take off first?
When disconnecting the cables from the old battery, disconnect the negative first, then the positive. Connect the new battery in the reverse order, positive then negative.” When you are replacing your car battery, It isn’t always easy to remember the order in which to disconnect and reconnect the terminals.
Do you take the red or black cable off first?
Always remove the negative cable first. Use a wrench to loosen the nut on the black/negative (-) end of the battery. Detach the black/negative (-) cable from the battery. Detach the red/positive (+) cable from the battery.
