The first thing you need to know is if the truck is still the original six volt system or not. The charger is still hooked pos to pos, neg to neg regardless of whether it is pos or neg ground. Do not use a twelve volt charger on a six volt battery.
To charge the battery on a Ford Transit 85T280, connect a compatible battery charger to the battery terminals—red to positive (+) and black to negative (-). Ensure the charger is set to the correct voltage and amperage for the battery type. Plug in the charger and allow it to charge until the battery is fully charged, as indicated on the charger. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions related to your vehicle.
To connect a charger to a Ford Transit 350 diesel van battery, first, ensure the charger is turned off. Then, connect the red (positive) clamp to the positive terminal of the battery and the black (negative) clamp to the negative terminal. If you're using a smart charger, follow the manufacturer's instructions for settings. Finally, plug in the charger and turn it on to begin charging the battery.
To charge the battery on a Ford Transit 2.4 van, you can use a battery charger by connecting the positive terminal of the charger to the positive battery terminal and the negative terminal to the negative battery terminal. Ensure the charger is set to the appropriate voltage and amperage for the battery type. Alternatively, you can jump-start the van using jumper cables connected to another vehicle's battery. Always follow safety precautions and the vehicle's manual for specific instructions.
To change the battery in a Ford (2005) F150 pickup truck - one needs to open the hood and identify where the battery is. It should be on the passenger side, right next to the chassi. You need to disconnect the positive and negative leads and unscrew the bolts holding the battery. You then can replace the battery using the same setup.
If the charger draws more than 80 mA, it would drain the battery when engine is not running. Under 50 mA is acceptable.
The most common reason for your 1999 Ford Ranger pickup truck not to start is a battery that needs to be charged. Charge the battery for a minimum of 15 minutes.
It arcs because something is on when you installed the battery. Can be a light, or relay sticking.
Any 12 volt battery charger with an automatic feature. I own a Schumacher 520A-PE and it is an excellent inexpensive charger for the homeowner. It will charge at 10 amp to recharge an auto battery in about 3-5 hours. Also has a 2 amp trickle charge to maintain a stored battery as on a lawn mower. Will shut off when done to prevent overcharging.
No. The posts are reversed and the battery trays are different size.
Check the level of the electrolyte (water) in the battery if possible. If it is near full, then reconnect the battery charger and charge it at the 2 AMP rate. This is known as a "trickle" charge. Your charger may have the 6 amp charge rate also. The amp meter on the charger will indicate a lower and lower reading as the battery is charging and accepts the charge. An Auto Zone can "load test" your battery for free if you can get it to one of their stores. Your battery sounds weak and needs a good charge (be patient...it takes time) or needs replacing.

Your starter solenoid is sticking. Replace the starter solenoid and you should be good to go.
