Do you start the car with the good battery when jump starting?

Our pick of the answers:

You want to have the car with the good battery running. Attach the hot (+) (red) cable to the good car first, and then to the dead car. Then attach the ground (-) (black) to the good car. The final step is to attach the ground cable to a good ground away from the battery, so that any sparks will not ignite the fumes from the battery and cause it to blow up.

Our pick of the answers:

Yes, but b careful. When u hook up the positive and negative cables to the car without the battery b sure neither cables touch each other and makes sure the positive cable is not close to touching metal. Also make sure both vehicles r not running when hooking up cables then when cables r connected make sure the car supplying the power is running. Hope that helps
