In most directions I have found about jumping a car battery it directs to start with the positive terminal of the good car battery to the positive terminal of the dead car battery. Then from the negative of the dead car battery to an area on the engine block of the car with the good battery. One I found actually said to put it on the negative terminal of the good car battery instead of on the engine block. But most specifically state to not do that.
One of my questions is, how does current go from negative to positive if the negative is connected to the engine block?
I am guessing that the reason the negative shouldn't be connected to the other negative is because it may overcharge it somehow and cause an explosion or something.
If someone could clear that up for me I'd appreciate it.
