    Exactly. It's a paradox. Just leave the battery plugged in or not. Who knows

    So do you also get all your medical advice from the Internet?

    Where's the fun in that.

    I'd love to jokingly say "hook those to terminals to the battery and not worry about it". Sadly someone would do just that!

    Oh, if your hot dog turns purple please see a doctor that internet remedy was just a joke.

    Yes, if it is AvE on youtube.

    You should also be able to touch the battery cables together and everything should drain/reset

    All i can tell you being an electronic tech., electrolytic capacitors take a hell of a lot longer to drain if there's no circuit engineered to bleed them off.
