On the battery its the post that has a minus sign next to it and the leads from the battery will typically be black instead of red. Another thing to do is to go to your local auto parts store and ask them to show you. They will get a kick out of doing so and you'll not have to ask again.

The battery is under the hood on the front passenger side corner directly behind the front grille. It is a large square or rectangular unit that says BATTERY on it. It will have two very large 50,000 volt cables bolted to the battery posts on the top of the battery. The RED wire is the power wire which goes directly to the solenoid that sits on the side of the starter motor, which is way down underneath the engine. The black cable is the ground wire and it goes directly to a bolt that is connected to the frame of the vehicle or the engine which is connected to the frame.

The (Red) positive post is larger than the (Black) negative post and on almost every battery I have even see the + & - are embossed on the battery. The red, positive battery cable will go from the battery to the starter. The black, negative cable will connect to ground.

This is the sign convention )


Why do you not get battery symbol on your laptop sometimes after you on power supply in your laptop made by Toshiba model no A200?

Note: When interconnecting A200 batteries (cells), they must be identical in voltage and amp rating! Batteries may be connected in series. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery; the positive terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, and so on. The voltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the individual batteries. The batteries are connected: + to - to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery is unchanged. Batteries may also be connected in parallel. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the positive of the third; the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery, the negative terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third and so on. The batteries are connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration, the capacity is the sum of the individual batteries and voltage is unchanged.
