I fried several of the 964 electronic components by just using my big charger "hot start" option for countering a dead battery. Can't believe error-ing on the side of caution for actions like this isnt prudent. Though I've seen auto body shops weld on chassis without even disconnecting the battery. Maybe like many things "it depends."
