7. Don’t let the other end
touch metal. Connect
it to the positive (+)
terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
Now connect the black
negative (
-
) cable to
the good battery’s
negative (
-
) terminal.
Don’t let the other end
touch anything until
the next step.
The other end of the negative (
-
) cable doesn’t go
to the dead battery.
It goes to a heavy, unpainted metal part on the engine
of the vehicle with the dead battery.
8. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that
move. The electrical connection is just as good there,
but the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is
much less.
9. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
