9. Now connect the
black negative (
-) cable
to the good battery’s
negative (-) terminal.
Don’t let the other end

The electrical connection is just as good there, but
the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is

11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
12. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
13. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch
each other or any other metal.
