ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS connect the (+) cable FIRST. The reason it sparked was the ( - ) negative cable was already connected.

How do you test an ignition module system?
Just connect it to a 12V battery (don't use a powersupply because the sparking produces lots of electical noise and this can damage a power supply). I have tested Nissan Skyline R34 coilpacks by connecting the '+' terminal to positive on the 12V battery, the 'G' terminal to negative on the 12V battery, and touching the 'IB' terminal on the positive 12V battery terminal to make the spark. Caution: this produces sparks in excess of 54000 Volts! And they will cover a gap of about 18mm!
Where does the white wire connect on a six volt battery?
You don't say what you are connecting to the battery. If you have a black and white wire the best guess would be white to negative terminal and black to positive terminal. If you were connecting a 6V light bulb it really doesn't matter.
Why is there a electrical spark when replacing battery in a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am 403?
If it's a small spark when you are installing the battery cables....and assuming you are connecting them to the correct terminal....it usually means there is something turned on on the car when you are hooking it up. A radio, dome lights, etc. It's harmless. If this isn't the problem, you have a direct short somewhere.....a hot wire grounded out.
Can you charge a 12 volt battery with a 24 volt charger?
I can if I charge 2 of them at a time. Most 24 volt chargers also have a 12 volt setting. What is hard to find is a 32 volt charger. We can charge a 12V battery with 24V charger, by connecting two 12V batteries in series i. e. the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second, now the charger positive terminal is connected to the first battery positive terminal and the negative terminal of the charger is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery.
In silver plating one electrode in solution is made of pure silver The other electrode is the?
a) conducting solution b) negative battery terminal c) positive battery terminal d) object to be plated e) electrical connecting wire
What happens if you connect the ground wire to the terminal and the red wire to the - terminal on the car battery ie connect the battery backwards but did not start the car?
once a battery is connected even if the key is not in the ignition, there is always power at certain points in your car. Connecting a battery backwards will not start your car, but it can and will fry the wires to your starter.
Does you take of any battery terminal to change spark plug on trailblazer?
No you do not have to unhook the battery. Althuogh you should do so anytime you perform any work on a vehicle.
How do you replace battery terminal on a 1999 Mercury Sable?
A battery terminal or a battery CABLE terminal. If the terminal is gone or destroyed on the battery, you need a new battery. If the cable terminal is terminal, you can buy an after market replacement or a complete new cable with terminal at most any auto parts store.
What could be draining the battery on a 1970 firebird?
It could be lights on in the trunk or a short someplace, your best bet would be to touch positive cable to the battery and if you get a spark something is drawing power from the battery, pull one fuse at a time and recheck the spark at the battery and when you have a fuse pulled and it finally doesn't spark when you touch the positive cable to the battery terminal you have found the circuit that your problem is in.
What does the negative terminal of a battery have?
The negative terminal of a battery has a - sign and positive terminal has a + sign.
How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
What form of energy flows through a copper wire connecting the two ends of battery?
Electrical Energy. When a copper wire is connected to two ends of battery, the electrons on the -ve terminal (with excess of electrons) move to +ve terminal (electron deficit terminal) to maintain an equlilbrium, hence the energy created by these movement of 'electrons' is called 'electrical' energy
