    It is recommended to connect the + terminal of the battery first and the - terminal second; because by tightening the terminal more first, if the key used came into contact with a metal part of the vehicle, there would be no danger of closing the circuit (with sparks and risk of severe damage to the electronic components, fire risk) because the circuit is not connected by the absence of a ground connection (TERMINAL - Battery)

    The little black box with the red wires is preventing me from removing the battery. How do I remove it?

we always finish with the negative terminal because if we put the car back to ground first, the slightest contact with the bodywork or anything else when tightening the positive terminal is an electric shock!
