So, connecting model a battery to charger, positive charger lead goes to pos. or neg. terminal?
With battery chargers, always go positive to positive and neg-neg.
The starter switch and engine block are easy places to connect a battery charger, and this also keeps the sparks away from the battery if the charger isn't turned off while connecting and disconnecting the cables.
BTW, just when does a wire become a cable?
Yesterday I put my 6 amp charger on an old 6 volt battery someone gave me. Today I'll try it, but have little hope since it's 11 years old. However while connecting the charger I did notice some cracks in the insulation on the charger wires, so it's time for more repairs.
A wire is a single conductor, solid or stranded, any size. A cable is a grouping of two or more conductors within a single assembly.BTW, just when does a wire become a cable?.
You must have been in the Navy.. That's what they taught me.A wire is a single conductor, solid or stranded, any size. A cable is a grouping of two or more conductors within a single assembly.
