Which Side of a Battery is Positive? A cell or battery is drawn with a long line and a shorter line. The long line is the positive side (plus is longer). The short line is the negative side (minus is shorter).
Step-by-step. 1  If possible, bring the two cars together nose to nose, about 18 apart. 2  Make sure both cars are turned off. 3  Determine which terminals are positive and negative on both batteries. 4  The jumper cables are marked with colors or stripes to help you keep track of the two separate wires. Attach one end of the positive cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery (the positive cable may have a stripe, or if the cables are marked with red and black, the red cable is positive).
