Hold the removed terminal clamp against the post you just removed it from. If there's a parasitic drain, tiny sparks will jump from the post to the terminal. It must be totally dark, so cover the working area (and your head) with a thick blanket. Keep flammables well away.
LOL, sometimes you can hear the tiny sparks too
