The negative battery terminal is marked with an minus (-) sign on the battery next to the post. It is the one with the black cable connected to it.
Positive is either red or has a "+" symbol.
The "+" sign is used to mark the positive post.
Usually black. Look for a negative sign ( - ) which is a just a hyphen.
It will vary from car to car, but the neg is usually black, and has a "-" sign. Normally the positive terminal is larger than the negative terminal.
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.
Positive and negative electrical connections, mix those up and you will have problems.
If you mean what battery post the cable hooks up to, it's to the post marked with a negative (-) sign; if you mean where the cable hooks up to from the battery post, it's to the metal frame and usually held in place with a bolt.
Does the negative sign come before or after the dollar sign?The negative sign comes before the dollar sign.
If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )
