Hi I've gone through the forum and google and read so many different opinions  Rolling Eyes

What I wanted to ask is there a correct  procedure for disconnecting the batteries obv - then +
But do you do DS- then OS- , DS+ then OS+ ...... Or  DS- then DS+ , OS- then OS+

2 Q : Does it matter which battery you use to give a jump start or to receive one ?

90 is a 1KD-FTV OR KD J95  so right hand drive and the DS battery is the one that is earthed, nothing wrong, the batteries are old and now its getting cold I normally take them out to give them a slow charge and they do ok over winter, just wanted to know if there was a specific way I should do this ??

Hello i have duel batteries on my LWB prado 90 , it doesnt matter which battery you disconnect first or which one you jump start to.

For example on mine i can have either battery connected and the other one disconnected and the car will still turn over.

I do tend to jump to the drivers side though.

hope this helps.

Yeah either - just disconnect BOTH negatives first or you can still arc your spanner and weld something you don't want to.... Smile
