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 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.
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.

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