The term, 'negative ground' or 'negative earth' refers to the system of chassis-grounding, or chassis-earthing, used in vehicles. With this system, the negative terminal of the battery is directly connected to the metal parts of a vehicle, while the positive terminal is connected to the various electrical devices (lamps, etc.) using insulated conductors. The vehicle's metal parts ('chassis') then act as the return conductor to the battery.
