The standard practice is to hook up the negative last
You may wonder why
in fact it should (in theory) make no difference
However if you have negative disconnected and, as you hook up the positive, your wrench slips and 'Shorts" the positive to the chassis..... Nothing happens. You see there is no path to ground for the power to flow
And if while connecting the negative,, Your wrench slips and shorts NEGATIVE to chassis.. Who cares.. The negative wire is doing that anyway
But if you hook positive up last,, And your wrench slips and shorts to the chassis.. It may well melt.. WHILE YOU ARE HOLDING IT
This is not good.
