end touch metal.
Connect it to the
positive
(+)
terminal
of the good battery.
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.

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
L
getting back to the
battery is much less.
8. Now connect the black
negative
( - )
cable to
the good battery's
negative
( - )
terminal.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and
run the
engine for
a
while.
