When I was replacing the voltage regulator with the brand new one I dutifully disconnected the battery. Unfortunately I just set the cable aside and while I was connecting the connectors from the battery to the regulator I dropped one and the cable to the battery had slipped and was making contact with the post. There was quite a bit of arcing. I'm amazed those connectors aren't shielded. Anyway, Could I have damaged the battery?
