8. Now connect the
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 part, or to the 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.
