I keep my tractor battery on a trickle charger with auto cutout circuit that is designed to not over charge the battery. I disconnect the cables before I hook up the charger so there is no possible ongoing drain. The last time I started the tractor, I disconnected the charger, connected the cables, got in the cab and turned the key. BANG, the battery blew up, I presume from the explosive gasses always discussed in the jump start procedures and a spark between cable connector and post. Luckily the tractor had a cab and I was in it. Plastic and acid went everywhere and I ran for the washdown hose and washed stuff down really well. It CAN happen and I was very lucky it was on the tractor with the cab and not some other. From now on I think I will disconnect the ground strap only and do it where it bolts to the frame. That and safety goggles.--Erik
