This is a very idiotic question first and foremost. I was removing my battery and i forgot to remove the negative terminal first, i started with the positive terminal and spark started flying, not big ones but relatively minor.

This isn't going to damage anything is it? lol.

 

Probably not. I have disconnected batteries every which way and nothing has ever happened. I try to disconnect the negative first, but I never had a problem with taking the positive off first.

Funny thing, I had to jump my moms subaru last night and I had the cables on my battery and accidentally touched the other two clamps together and got a few sparks. Didnt harm a thing. I wouldn't do it for fun, but just a little touch did nothing.

 

Can I suggest a good shop or mechanic in your area

 

There will usually be a very small spark. Don't worry about it.

Disconnect the NEGATIVE terminal first, and reconnect it last. That way there's less chance of accidentally touching your tool to ground while working with the positive one.
