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

Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don't touch
each other
or
any other metal.
