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.
8.
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.

with the
dead
battery.
9.
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.
IO.
Now
start
the vehicle with the good
battery and run
the engine for a
while.
11.
Try to start
the vehicle with the
dead battery.
If
it won’t start after a
few tries, it probably needs service.
12.

to prevent
electrical shorting. Take
care that they don’t touch each
other or any other metal.
