On a side post battery there is just a threaded hole for the post to screw into- you can get a new bolt from a dealer or you can get a bolt or post from an auto parts store which will convert it to take a top post cable and get one of those the right length. the threads are universal.
The positive side of a car battery is red - look for red plastic cap or the "+" symbol on the plastic next to it. Also the positive post is slightly larger than the negative post.
Just like a top post battery. Connect the positive cable to that positive side post and the negative cable to any metal part of the engine. You can connect to the side post if you just try.
It is almost always imprinted on the battery next to the posts. If not the positive + post is slightly larger than the negative - post.
the post that grounds itself to the body of the car
Red onto the positive post Black onto the negative post
If you have a post battery(the cable attaches from the top) the positive post is larger than the negative.
All batteries will have clearly marked posts, look for the molded + sign next to it or on the side of the battery. The grounding post will have a negative "-" sign next to it. If connecting your battery to the car, connect the positive post first, then the ground.
get a multi meter that reads dc voltage & touch the black (negative -) wire to the negative battery post & the red (positive +) wire to the positive battery post with car running. car off is battery voltage, car on is alternator voltage.
To the battery post with the " - " symbol not the one with the " + "
Connect the Positive + battery cable to the positive + battery post first. Then connect the Negative - cable to the negative - battery post.
Yes they will work but if the car is not equipped with side post cables you will have to buy adapters. Just buy the correct battery for your car.
It grounds the body and motor of the car so that everything electrical will work. Anything electrical has to have positive and negative to work. At least in a car.
