negative (-) cable to
the negative (-)
terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
negative (-) terminal
if the vehicle has one.
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 engine part or to a remote negative (-) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead battery.
10. 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.

the engine for a while.

service.
