look beside the knobs sticking up from the battery and match
+ = + - = - have someone keep the car with power revved up a bit oh, you do have to take the plastic covers, if existant, off the knobs |

connect the red cable clamps to the positive (red) posts on each battery. then connect the black cable clamp to the negative (black) post on the drained/dead
battery. lastly connect the other end of the black cable to the car frame or engine block of the car you're jumping from. If you can't easily connect
to the car frame or engine block, then connect to the negative battery post of the car you're jumping from. put a dry towel over the battery you're
jumping from, then carefully make the final connection slowly to avoid making any sparks. the towel is precaution since old style batteries can explode if a
spark is made and there are escaped battery gases (make sure the towel is out of the way of the fan blades). start the car that you're jumping from, wait a
minute, then start the other car. when both cars are running, disconnect the cables in reverse order. go slow and be careful around running engines.

Like crime, black on black is the way to go.

Attach the red clamp to your testicle...
You'll jump at least. |

Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled
See an opening and bust into the field Hidden longings no longer concealed Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away Each new obstacle from each old new day Where its going its hard for me to say And shoot me down And bring me down But I wont be around As you run through the places you love I remember the faces that cry And theyre pulling me back so I have to die And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day Each new sensation just blows me away Dont look now, dont look now, Im a phase Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot I cant pretend to be something Im not cause I'm supernova erect and white hot And shoot me down And bring me down But I wont be around As you run through the places you love I remember the faces that cry And theyre holding me back so I have to die And watch me jumpstart I'm maximum jack Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack Film finished, fade into black. |

I don't know how to remove a car battery. It is big and too dangerous to remove. It costs very expensive to buy a car battery.
