Should your car stay running when you take the pos battery termanal off?
WilliamNShellbyRight...
A battery is used to start a car. Once it is running, the alternator then supplies electrical energy to charge the battery as well as power the electrical systems in the car. Removing the battery while the car is running will not affect the running of the car.
