The vehicles could also be damaged.
Before you connect the cables, here are some basic

positive (+) and negative (
-) will go to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part. Don’t connect
positive (+) to negative (
-) or you will get a short
that would damage the battery and maybe other
parts, too. Also, don’t connect the negative (-) cable
to the negative (
-) terminal on the dead battery.
CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.
8. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the remote
positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery.
