Get your earth lead as close to the weld site as possible to eleviate any chance of putting current through any ecus

When you disconnect the battery, put the +&- together. This will short the existing power from any components sir Thumbs Up

^^ if you do this and have a secondary battery, don't forget to disconnect it, too.

From memory i think its disconnect positive and negative wait 20 mins then touch them together for 10secs.

That is the hard reset procedure and should discharge any residual current.
