This is the main output from the alternator. It charges the battery and maintains power to the rest of the car's circuitry.

How can you reset the ecu on a 2000 Kia Sephia?
Take the positive battery terminal loose and touch it to the negative terminal post for 30 seconds. Then put the positive terminal back on.
From which terminal of a battery are electrons pushed?
electrons come from the negative terminal, then goes around the complete circuit (clockwise) and comes back to the positive terminal. hope that helps!
How to install a new battery in your car?
make sure radio settings/presets are saved disconnect negative battery terminal disconnect positive battery terminal unscrew the battery mount take battery out put new battery in put the mount back reconnect battery terminals
What will happen if one battery terminal is connected to a terminal?
Nothing. An auto battery system is 12V DC. If both terminals aren't in the loop (positive through the current path and back to negative) nothing happens.
How to Positive battery terminal replace 05 Acura TL?
Getting a factory terminal is likely not worth it. First make sure the battery cable has enough slack to cut off the terminal, shave back the insulation and use a new terminal. If you don't have enough slack, you'll need to replace the entire cable. If you have enough, remove the battery to save yourself from accidentally grounding/shorting our the battery. Remove the negative battery cable, then remove the positive. Remove the battery. Cut the battery cable where the terminal is. Strip about an inch of insulation. For my 2003 TL, I had to use the truck size terminal from Autozone as the normal one would not fit the 2 battery cables. Truck size = $3.50, car size = $2.99, not a big difference. Make sure the cable is free of corrosion. If there is any of the powder blue dust, clean it all out with a wire brush. Get the battery cable into the new terminal and tighten. Use electrical tape to cover any excess uncovered battery cable. Pop the battery back in, install the positive terminal then the negative terminal.
Where do jumper cables hook up to on the 96 Aurora?
Positive is connected to the positive terminal on the battery and negative is connected to a ground point on the engine away form the battery. Under the Hood, on the passengers side, is a positive terminal with a red plastic cover. Put your ground on a metal part of the engine. No need to pull up the back seat to hook to the battery.
How do you change a battery on a smart car?
Battery is located under passenger floor board. Pull back carpet to locate. Disconnect the negative termainal first, then disconnet the postive terminal. remove old batter - install new battery. Connect Negative Terminal first - then connect the positive terminal.

Why most car bodies are attached to the negative terminal of the battery?
The DC electrical system of the car requires a positive and negative electrical conductors for each electrical device. Taking the example of a single lightbulb powered by the car battery, this could require a wire leading from the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal on the lightbulb and a second (return) wire leading from the other terminal on the lightbulb back to the negative terminal on the battery. Two wires are required - a positive and negative. To reduce the quantity of wires required, the negative "wire" is actually the car body. Hence there is a positive wire leading from the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of each electrical device on the car and the negative terminal of each electrical device on the car is connected to the car body (a metal conductor). The body of the car is then connected to the negative terminal of the battery, completing the circuit. There are virtually no return wires. This works as cars use a low voltage (12 V). If they used a higher voltage, this system could result in electric shock from touching the car body.
What does in series mean?
the back to back connection of any component is called series connectionfor exampleif u have 2 battery's with u . u wanna connect them in series thenone of the positive end is taken +ve terminal and the another end of the same battery must be connected to the +ive end of the another battery and then take the -ve terminal from the another end of the second battery
