use a 7/16 wrench to loosen the positive or negative battery cable terminal from it's grip around the battery post gently wiggle the end of the cable till it starts to move freely than just work it off the ost .
As soon as the cable has freed the post your electrical current will stop. the battery will be disconnected.

Get a pair of safety goggles. Put 'em on. Use a wrench to unscrew the connector on the negative (black or - ) side. Be careful not to touch the positive (red or + ) side while doing this. Then remove the red side.
DC voltage is not typically dangerous, but if you accidentally short the positive to any metal, you will cause a large spark, maybe a vapor explosion, and probably weld the metals together.
Take your time, and be careful.

Take the negative cable off first. It doesn't matter if the wrench hits the frame while you're taking the negative side off, and once it's off, you don't have to worry about shorting the positive terminal to the frame.

There are only 2 connections--the positive terminal and the negative terminal.
