When connected to the cable which normally runs to the starter it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
The positive
The positive
A person can hook up a cooling fan to a battery by connecting the hot or positive lead to the positive side of the battery. The negative lead wire is then connected to the negative side of the battery.
it has something to do with the electrical current pssing through the wires to the battery
On the battery is marked - or +. The red cable is positive and the black is negative.
positive terminal
it is called the positive pole,if you want to go deeper when using (discharging) a battery it is called a cathodewhen charging the battery it is called an anodeThe positive terminal.

usually it should, but if it doesn't show then the flat side is negative and the tip is positive, On an automotive battery the larger post is positive +.
Negative side
There is no standard for locating the positive or negative posts on a battery. You must look fot the " + " symbol on the battery. The positive post is slightly larger than the negative post.
Each battery terminal will have a sign impressed into the plastic case next to it, and the sign will be either "+" or "-".
