How can you charge your phone battery if you dont have a charger?
I had to make a phone call from my car and the Cell phone battery went dead . I had a cigarette lighter variable charger cable and set it on 3 volts. Then I stuck a pin in the positive side hole of the cable end . I took the battery out found the positive and touched it with the positive Pin I had stuck in the cigarette lighter positive cable end hole I took another wire connected it to the outer end of the metal cable end and touched the negative of the battery just enough to make a phone call . You can also charge a cell phone battery with two 1.5 volt flashlight batteries in series ,a couple wires and scotch , tape .if you understand polarities
Would a piece of metal under the hood interfere with a car battery?
Yes if it touched the positive battery post or a live terminal and a ground it would short out.
How do you replace Nissan Micra 1994 battery without knowing the positive and negatives?
Answer 1all batteries have a positive and negative labeled on them. One battery cable should be red and one black the red is positive! Answer 2 The rest of the storyAnswer 1 is correct, but IF you had to ask the question, then answer 1 is incomplete. The labeling on the battery to which answer 1 relates does not say "positive and negative." Instead, symbols are used, and they are embossed in raised symbols on the battery case, next to the terminals they identify. Since they are embossed in the battery case, they usually are NOT a different color, but are the same color as material of the battery case, and you have to really look for them.The positive battery terminal will be identified with a plus [+] symbol next to it, and the negative terminal will be identified with a minus [-] symbol next to it.Also, I think, the two terminals are very slightly different in size [diameter]. Genrerally, the positive terminal will be slightly larger than the negative. I think this was done to help prevent people from connecting the cables backward.Although you can put the slightly larger positive cable connector on the negative terminal on the negative terminal, the negative cable connector will not fit over the negative terminal on the battery. However, this does you no good, once you've incorrectly [reversed] touched the cables to a "hot" battery, which probably will instantly "fry" some of the delicate electronics of your vehicle.As mentioned in answer 1, the polarity of most battery cables are generally indicated by the color of the insulation jacket. Normal protocol 12 volt vehicle electrical systems is that a positive cable or wire will have a red color, and the negative will have a black colored insulation jacket. That is of course, unless someone who did not know what they were doing, replaced one or both of the cables with the wrong color!You can determine if the cable colors are correct by visually tracing them from their terminal connectors to where they go in the engine compartment. If correct, the black negative battery cable will go to a ring connector under a bolt head on the metal engine block. If correct, the red positive battery cable will go to either a solenoid relay mounted on [usually] on the inner fender near the battery, the firewall, or on the starter itself.Once you are certain that you know which battery terminal are positive and negative, AND which battery cables are positive and negative, then replacing the battery is simply a matter of loosening the terminal clamp bolts, removing the NEGATIVE clamp/cable from the battery first, then the postivive clamp/cable.Then remove the old battery, clean all accumulation of dust, dirt, from the battery tray and terminals, and install the new battery. Then clean the cable clamp connectors with a "terminal brush," and install the cables.Intall the POSITIVE cable FIRST, and the NEGATIVE cable last. If there is a safety cover on the positive terminal, replace it over the positive cable clamp.
What do you attach negative lead to during jump start?
Connect the - cable from the negative battery terminal on the "live" battery to a clean bare metal part on the "dead" car. Make sure it wil not be touched when "dead" car starts
No power to parking lights on a 89 civic wagon rt?
Positive wire touched negative wire on parking lights for 89 civic rt
2002 explorer touched wrench to metal by accident while loosenin the hot post on the battery and now it dont idle right?
Try disconnecting the battery positive and negative cables for 1 minute then restore connections and see if it makes a difference in idle performance. I was told that the disconnect allows the central controller to reset itself upon reconnect.
Starter wire touched exhaust Killed engine nopower?
Your exhaust is grounded just like the rest of your car. This negative charge cancels out the rest of the positive charge the he spark plugs.
Do you have to send the battery back with your phone when getting a replacement?
no if you already touched it you keep it
Replacing a battery in a 1996 Honda passport the Positive and Negative posts unlabled?
Automotive Battery Terminal Polarity IdentificationI'm not familiar with your vehicle, and I've never seen a battery that did not have the terminal polarity marked.There are 4 ways [to my knowledge] to determine the polarity of an auto battery's terminals:1. Most batteries will have a plus symbol [+] embossed [molded/raised] on the plastic of the battery case top panel next to the Positive terminal, AND a Negative [minus] symbol [--] embossed next to the Negative terminal.2. Or there may be the abbreviation for Positive [ POS] embossed next to the Positive Terminal, and the abbreviation for Negative [NEG] next to the Negative Terminal. Some batteries may have both the symbols AND the POS and NEG abbreviations.3. On all auto batteries I've worked with, the Positive terminal is SLIGHTLY larger in diameter than the Negative terminal. Thus, the Negative [black] cable clamp should only fit easily onto the Negative terminal, and either NOT FIT on the Positive terminal, or be way to tight to install by hand. And, the Positive cable [red] terminal clamp will fit way too loose [sloppy] if installed on the Negative battery terminal. It should fit "just right" on the Positive terminal.ONLY use this "trial fit" method with ONE CABLE AT A TIMEuntil you are absolutely certain of which cable fits onto which terminal, because IF you touch both cables to the terminals AT THE SAME TIME, and they are reversed, you will get one hell of an arc [sparking] which could cause the battery to explode, and will probably ruin much of the electronics [computers, etc.] in your vehicle.4. Another method of determining battery terminal polarity is to use a Volt-Ohm Meter [VOM], with the selector switch set to the DC 50 Volt scale. There are two types of meter: An Analog type [has a needle and voltage scales on the face], and there is a Digital type which uses an LED readout display with numerals to indicate readings.With either meter, touch the red and black test probe tips to the two battery terminals only momentarily while watchingthe needle, or the digital readout.IF the Analog meter needle moves to the right, and shows about 12 Volts, then the terminal to which the RED test probe is touched IS the Positive terminal. BUT... IF the needle bounces to the left, then the polarity is reversed, and that means that the BLACK test probe is on the Positive terminal, and the red test probe is on the Negative terminal.With a Digital meter, the polarity is indicated in the display readout as a plus [+] symbol, or a minus symbol [--]. IF the symbol is +, that indicates that the red test probe is on the Positive terminal and the black test probe is on the Negative terminal. This is as it should be.IF a minus symbol [--] appears next to the voltage indication, then that means the red test probe is on the Negative terminal, and that the black test probe is on the Positive terminal.It would be an immense help if you could find a friend or neighbor with some knowledge of electrical polarity to help you this time. Once you get the hang of it , this will be an easy determination. Good luck.
What would happen if you touched a positive electroscope with a positive rod?
The leaves of electroscope will diverge a little more because more positive charges will flow from a positive rod
You were puting a car stereo on your car and the posstive cabel touch mettal and it sparked and shot of the car and now it will not turn back up?
Check the fuse for the radio in your fusebox. Rule #1 for any electrical work is to disconnect the battery positive cable.Or do you mean that the battery cable touched metal?
How can a test light be used to test for power and ground.?
Testing for 12V DC power using a 12V DC test light, clip the test lead to a known ground (preferably battery negative post) then probe with the test light tip for power. Test light will illuminate when power is touched.Testing for 12V DC ground, clip the test lead to the positive post on the battery then probe with the test light for grounds. Test light will illuminate when a ground is touched.
