Welding on chassis question?

[Redbeard]

Should a guy unhook all the electronics and battery before welding, or ok to keep the ground right at the work site without unhook anything?

I need to make a few welds on the tunnel of a sled.

I always unhook battery. Never heard of anything happening but why chance it?

X2 I have cheated and been lucky many times but I wouldn't take a chance with a sled, not worth the risk!!!!!!

all it would take is for a fraction of a sec that the ground wire has a loss of continuity and the weld grounds to the battery or worse and everything is fried. dont chance it just disconnect battery and you will be fine.

Thanks guys. It doesn't bother me to weld on anything else, but my sleds are a different story!
