Of course you are not doing this while the car is running only while it is turned off.

Theres more chance of shorting it out if you play with it at the connections while the battery is plugged then if you play with it while the battery is unplugged. Yes it gets power instantly right away regarding either way u do it, but id rather work on something that doesnt have any power going to it rather than working on something that has power going to it as im working on it IMO.
