Hey Steve. You don't have to disconnect them. This was just a quick job to show the effects of Baking Soda and Water on Dirty Batteries and how well they clean them. If you want to do a thorough job, however, I would recommend disconnecting them and cleaning the terminal posts with a wire brush etc. Hope this information helps.
1 c. Baking soda/128 oz (1 gal) water 1/2 c. Baking soda/64 oz (1/2 gal) water 1/4 c. Baking soda/32 oz (2 qt) water 4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup Answer: 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda per 8 oz water
I would not risk shorting out your batteries by doing this. Remove the cables and clean them and the terminals carefully with a little baking soda and water. See the video below on what happens when you short battery terminals. Batteries are too expensive to take the risk.
