disconnecting battery while engine is runningiward 12-02-2007, 08:41 PM Will any damage be done if a battery is disconnected while the engine is running? Thank you. Davescort97 12-02-2007, 09:13 PM Yes, with the ignition on and high idle you can blow relays, radio and other electrical equipment. You need the battery to absorb amperage and voltage spikes. Some say this is a test to see if the alternator is charging. Instead, measure voltage at the battery while the engine is running. Should be about 13.8 volts. Don't test your alternator by disconnecting the battery. chrisanthony 12-08-2007, 03:48 PM yea not a good idea..turn the car off first..then disconnect the negitive first then the positive vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
