Disconnecting Battery

That way it kills the whole vehicle being live and you always have a neutral back to the battery. If the neutral is off but positive is on then anything will find a way to earth through vehicle etc.

How would this work?, surely there needs to be a connection through the battery and if one is NOT connected there can't be a current.

You always remove Neg - first then Pos +.
You reconnect Pos + first then Neg -.
This prevents any chance of the Pos + lead touching an earth point on the vehicle and shorting out.

Neg OFF first, that way if the spanner touches earth when you're doing the positive it won;t arc......
and when refitting, positive first, for exactly the same reason!!
I'm prepared to be prooved wrong though....LOL!!
