Wont fry a diode wont kill anybody, will work just fine. The alt puts out the same with or without the battery hooked up. Or it would fry a diode when the battery was full charged and can't take anymore. Unlike some people hear, the charging system has no brain, It just does what it is made to do.

RE: Battery keeps dying
Shocking you? It's 12 volts. Unless your in water you can touch both side of the battery at once. without shock.
But , Your right, the negative side will work. and if anything ,willhave less sparkwhen the cable is pulled off.

It isn't the voltage that kills you, it is the amperage!!!! A couple of amps and you will assume room temperature in a hurry.

RE: Battery keeps dying
Back to this guy's original problem, how could a guy not drive around the block without drawing down the battery unless there was a serious short in there?!? Again, why not disconnect the alternator from the system and see if the problem still occurs? If not, bingo! If so, something very, very wrong is going on!!

FWIW, I can run my battery operated Ready Welder for my Jeep and lay down 60" of bead before the battery will wear down. This guy has a serious draw somewhere, whether it is charging or not.

RE: Battery keeps dying
I bet
Right now you can go pop your hood and grab both battery terminats at the same time and not a thing will happen, except on your car , you would probably get dirty. And then start it up and grab both terminals and Nothing. Unless your standing in water.
Anyone want to take that bet?????????
And
Sor, Batteries are sealed, Unless you have one with caps on it, Then, You need a new battery.
