Connect the red positive 
(+) 
cable to the positive

of 
the  dead  battery. Use a remote

if 
the vehicle has one.

Now 
connect the black 
negative 
(-) 
cable 
to the negative 
(-)

of 
the good 
battery. Use a  remote 
negative 
(-) 
terminal

7. 
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. 
Don’t let the other end touch anything until the 
next step. The other end 
of 
the negative

go to the dead battery. It goes to a 
heavy, unpainted metal part, or to a  remote 
negative 
(-) 
terminal on  the  vehicle with the 
dead battery.
