Positive. This way, a tool on the positive terminal won't cause a short if it accidentally touches ground. By the same token, you want to disconnect negative first when going the other way.

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.

Make sure to double-check connections for safety and correct polarity.


What jumper cable do you connect first?

When jumping a car battery, you should connect the positive (red) jumper cable first. Attach one end to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the good battery. After that, connect the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the good battery, and then attach the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the dead car, away from the battery. This reduces the risk of sparks near the battery.
