Do We Really Need To Cut The Battery?

[PCC030664 2]

We never cut the cables, always disconnected them from the posts with a pliers, wrench, or ratchet. This was done anytime the vehicle was not driveable/had to be towed or there was extrication. Yes, sometimes the connections were very tight or down on the side and hard to get to.

A funny story. I got to be so adept at this that I could change the batteries on our own cars. One time when I brought the battery home I found that the posts were on the opposite side, front instead of rear or vice versa. So the cables wouldn't reach! Of course I had to exchange it. Now I know to take note of this.
