8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
