No. If the battery post if missing then you will have to buy a new battery. My question to you is how is a battery post missing?
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.

You can buy an adapter to convert a side post to top post or visa versa.
To hook up jumper cables, attach one cable from the negative post on one battery to the negative post on the other battery. (These usually are marked "-" and have a blacl cable attached to them.) Attach the other jumper cable from the positive post on one battery to the positive post on the other battery. (These usually are marked "+" and have a red cable attached to them.)
