You should connect and disconnect the negative post first. This way, if your tool touches ground when you work on the positive post, you don't short circuit the battery.
First off you must have the same type batteries. Connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive post of the second battery. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative post of the second battery. Now connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive connection on the vehicle. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative cable of the vehicle. Click the link for a diagram.
You connect the positive terminal first.
Connect the Positive + battery cable to the positive + battery post first. Then connect the Negative - cable to the negative - battery post.
Yes connect the positive first to the positive battery post, and then connect the negative ground to the engine somewhere and not to the battery.
The man said it Always connect the positive + cable first to the battery. Then connect the negative- cable to the engine somewhere. Never connect the negative cable to the battery itself. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and which can ignite with the slightest spark. For this reason never, ever, connect the negative first and never connect the negative to the battery.
First connect the battery charger positive connection to the Positive post on the battery and the negative connection to any place on the engine away from the battery and not on the negative battery post. Connecting the battery charger any other way is unsafe.
1. connect red booster cable to weak battery POSITIVE post. 2. connect red cable to POSITIVE post on booster battery. 3.connect black cable to booster battery NEGATIVE post. 4.make final connection on engine block of stalled vehicle away from the battery. STAND BACK,start vehicle and remove cables in reverse order of connection by disconnecting engine block connection first.
Connect them together in Series. Connect the negative post of one battery to the positive post of the other battery. Then connect the negative charger cable to one negative battery post and the positive to the positive post of the other battery.
Connect the positive (+) Red cable from the charger to the positive (+) post of the battery. Now connect the negative (-) Black cable to a metal part of the engine. Do not connect to negative battery post. Plug the charger in. Unplug the charger before removing the cables. Disconnect the negative cable first.
Batteries vent Hydrogen gas. You should always connect the positive battery cable first to avoid a spark at the battery that could cause the Hydrogen to explode. The negative cable should never be connected to the battery negative post. It should be connected to another ground area on the engine.
Connect the two 12 volts batteries in Series. Battery 1 & 2. Connect the negative post (-) of battery 1 to the negative (-) ground cable. Then connect the positive (+) post of battery 1 to the negative (-) post of battery 2. Connect the positive (+) post of battery 2 to the positive (+) cable. You now have 24 volts as the batteries are wired in series.
Yes ( when you are using a battery charger ) Just make sure the charger is not on when you connect the cables. Another safer way is to connect the negative cable to a part of the engine and not even connect it to the battery post.
