the dead battery. Use
a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.

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.
Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (−) cabledoesn’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.
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.
