Black Battery Cable Positive Or Negative

The positive cable is red.

Black battery cable positive or negative.

The negative cable is black. But as was mentioned the positive cable may also appear to be black. Attach the red positive cable to the red positive battery post and tighten with a wrench. Recognize that the black wire is the positive one the white wire is the negative one and the green wire is the ground.

The red one is positive the black one is negative. It attaches to the battery terminal post marked with a plus sign the letter p or the word pos. Attach the negative cable last. Connect the positive end first.

Identify the black positive wire on a ceiling light fixture. The jumper cables are colored black and red with each end having alligator clips made of copper that attach the leads of each car s battery. The negative battery cable is almost always black in color. Identify a metal ground.

Never connect the red cable to the negative battery terminal or a vehicle with a dead battery. When you re hanging a chandelier or any other ceiling light first find the 3 wires coming out of the hole in the ceiling where the light will go. Do the same on the black negative side. That s why you should always look for the plus and minus signs stamped into the battery case.

Ensure that the connections on both ends are secure by trying to move the battery around. The two should never be confused and you may wish to mark the handles of each cable with a or sign.
