Battery replacement procedure


I have 3 deep cycle batteries to replace. Advised to remove battery charger and solar regulator fuses. Them all  negative cables from batteries followed by positive cables. Then reverse this procedure when batteries in place. Starting with positive cables. Does this make sense.

Read the solar controller instructions.
Many require the battery to be connected BEFORE the solar panels, otherwise the controller has no clue what the battery voltage is.
So I would disconnect the solar panels from the controller first, then disconnect the controller from the batteries.
After that does not matter so much.
Cheers,
Peter
