7. Do not 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 negative ( )
terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
negative ( ) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
Do not 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 or to a remote
negative ( ) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative ( ) 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, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
