Have you often wondered in what order to place the crocodiles on the battery of the car you are trying to revive? Driving expert Mikhail Kolodochkin I’m sure the difference is there and she’s safe.
Among other secrets of such a seemingly simple matter, he says that if you first connect the “minus”, and then accidentally disconnect the “plus” connected to the donor battery, it can easily fall on the metal part of the car. What will happen next? That’s right, short circuit!
Another unpleasant option: the already connected positive “crocodile” suddenly unhooks from the terminal – the consequences will be the same. If you first connect the “pluses” of the two batteries, then an accidental drop in the “minus” will not cause problems. Unless, of course, he definitely does not end up on the positive pole.
