ya, if im doin major work on a vehicle, the battery will be disconnected just because, but if im doin quick work on a lift or something, i never bother with the battery. just make sure your ground is close to what youre welding so the current doesnt have to go far..

I always disconnect it to be safe. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
