I have two new group 65 batteries ready to install in my pickup. With two batteries in parallel I could change one then the other or do both at once. If I do one then the other the vehicle does not loose 12v power so all settings are retained but a helper needs to hold the positive cable away from anything while I get the battery in place and clamped in. If I just pushed the positive cable aside and it popped loose and touched ground then things would not be good.
Or the safer way, disconnect both negative cables then change batteries and last step is to connect both negative battery cables. Vehicle looses power.
I think I should go with the safer plan and do not think it's a big deal for the pickup to loose power.
