This is sorta related. There's a sequence to use when hooking up jumper cables, too. All you need to remember is that a charging battery gives off hydrogen which is explosive when mixed with air, so you always hook up the jumpers to the charged (good) battery first to cut down the chance of sparks. Just remember the battery that has been charging is just like a bomb waiting for a spark. The "dead" battery shouldn't have a lot of hydrogen around it unless it's been on a charger. I've even seen some directions saying to hook up to the charged battery first, then put the + cable on the dead battery, then hook the - cable to a bumper or some other ground distant from the dead battery. I like to live dangerously so I always hook up to the - cable on the dead battery instead of the bumper or engine.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
