Hi All,

I'm moving into telecoms and looking for some help on disconnecting battery strings.
I come from a domestic background so have not got involved in battery strings before as I never touched solar.

My questions is thus:
How do you safely disconnect a battery string that is housed in a tight earthed/grounded rack? If there is minimal space between the battery terminal and the earthed metal of the rack.

I have been advised to disconnect the negative first on a short course I have undertaken but if you were to touch the cable to the rack whilst it was still on the battery terminal this would cause a short wouldn't it?
Am I correct in assuming this would not be the case if the fuses have been pulled and the negative cable has been completely removed from the negative battery terminal?

I apologise if this is a rookie question - just looking to arm myself with as much information as I can prior to entering the industry.

TIA.
