Something is on drawing power from the battery. Always connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.
When jump-starting a car, you should connect the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery first.
No, using a red jumper cable is not positive for jump-starting a car battery. The red jumper cable is typically used to connect the positive terminals of the two batteries.
When jumping a car, the red jumper cable should be connected first.
When jumping a car, the red jumper cable should be connected first.
To safely jump a car when the positive terminal is red, follow these steps: Connect the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Connect the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the working battery. Connect the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working battery. Connect the other end of the black jumper cable to an unpainted metal surface on the car with the dead battery. Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes. Try starting the car with the dead battery.
It would be essentially the same as connecting a battery in the car, except with longer cables. You would have to use jumper cables to extend the car battery cables. Be sure to follow ALL safety procedures. Do NOT let anyone or anything metal touch anything else except where you make the connections. Do not touch the metal connectors themselves. I assume there is no battery in the car. I will call the battery that is not in the car the "external battery". First connect the positive ("+", usually red) jumper cable to the positive car battery cable, & then the other end of that jumper cable to the positive external battery terminal. Then do the same with the negative ("-", usually black) car battery cable & jumper cable. The last thing you connect should be the far end of the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal of the external battery. When you are ready to disconnect the external battery from these cables, do so in reverse order, starting with disconnecting the negative ("-", usually black) jumper cable from the negative external battery terminal.
Always connect the positive (RED) cable first.
Remove the plastic cover.
