How do you connect power-charger to battery's negative post of the Chevrolet venture 2000?

Do you reconnect the ground or positive cables when installing a car battery?
Safe practice directs that when connecting battery cables to the battery, the positive cable should beattached first, and then the negative cable last. In disconnecting battery cables, safe practice directs cable order in the reverse, I.E., the negative cable is disconnected first, and and the positive cable last. The reason for this safety procedure is that IF the ground cable is attached first, then when using a metallic wrench to tighten the positive cable clamp, and IF the wrench in contact with the positive terminal clamp were to come in contact with any grounded metal of the vehicle, then a tremendous short circuit would occur. A massive short circuit results in massive arcing [fireball] which can severely burn a person, damage the battery [or cause it to explode], damage the vehicle electrical system, or worse, cause the vehicle to catch on fire. Always connect the negative cable last, and disconnect the negative cable first!
How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 24 volt charger?
I can if I charge 2 of them at a time. Most 24 volt chargers also have a 12 volt setting. What is hard to find is a 32 volt charger. We can charge a 12V battery with 24V charger, by connecting two 12V batteries in series i. e. the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second, now the charger positive terminal is connected to the first battery positive terminal and the negative terminal of the charger is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.
Which side is positive on a 1990 Mazda miata battery?

When you charge a battery do you connect positive or negative first?
The man said it Always connect the positive + cable first to the battery. Then connect the negative- cable to the engine somewhere. Never connect the negative cable to the battery itself. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and which can ignite with the slightest spark. For this reason never, ever, connect the negative first and never connect the negative to the battery.
