Changing a leisure battery

Quick question - I've got a new leisure battery that I want to fit this weekend. Is there anything I need to be aware of when changing the LB? Do I need to disconnect anything first?!? Sorry, I'm not particularly technically minded...

Its good parcatice to disconnect the earth first (and refit last) in case the spanner touches the body and creates a short.

Bear in mind that the positve will still earth as the starter battery will be connected so go careful.

If your radio is powered from the leisure battery make sure you have any security codes before you disconnect it..

Good point, and the safest way would be to disconnect both earths then the +ve on the LB.

Thanks guys. I'll double check but assume -ve is usually the earthed post?
