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.

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.
