Connect one of the black jumper-cable clamps to the negative terminal on the donor battery. Attach the other black clamp to an unpainted metal surface inside the engine compartment on the vehicle with the dead battery--the farther from the battery, the better.
  • An unpainted bolt on the engine block is ideal. Remember, the clamp must be able to "bite" securely onto the object in question and hold in place, even if the engine vibrates.
  • You can, theoretically, connect the second black clamp to the negative terminal on the dead battery instead. But this produces a spark, which could ignite hydrogen fumes from the battery.

I hope this is helpful to you!
