7. Don't let the other end touch metal. Connect
it to
the positive
(t)
terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive
(t)
terminal if the
vehicle has one.
8. 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.
9. 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.
