Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this will short
circuit the battery charging system. Always connect the positive (+)
battery cable to the battery terminal before connecting the negative (-)
battery cable, so your tools cannot cause a short circuit if they touch a
grounded part while tightening the positive (+) battery cable end.
