What are the effects of disconnecting the battery negative terminal?
1 Answers
Here are the effects of disconnecting the battery negative terminal: 1. The negative terminal of the car battery is connected to the vehicle body, and since the body itself is made of metal, the entire vehicle is connected to the negative terminal. This means that the moment the battery negative terminal is disconnected, the car's electrical circuit can no longer form a complete loop, and the battery will stop supplying power. If the battery is already low on charge, the car may be difficult or even impossible to start. In such cases, you can use a battery charger or jump-start the battery. 2. Disconnecting the battery negative terminal may cause some functions in the car to stop working or revert to factory settings. For cars controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU), the onboard computer will shut down, potentially leading to data loss or the appearance of fault codes.
