the distance minimum so that cables of both batteries reach the other. When it is done, you
should open the bonnet and locate the batteries. Position of batteries may be different in both
the cars but it is not a problem.

the negative terminal of the working battery. Whereas the other black clamp should be attached
to the bolt on the engine block. Make sure you have connected the clamp and terminals the right
way.

disconnect the black jumper first and then the red ones. This order should be maintained. If your
battery requires changes, you should find the nearest auto parts store to buy one.
