Yes, Paul. The Red always goes to the +Battery terminal and the Black goes
to the Negative, regardless of which side of the battery is connected to the
cars chassis!

Subject: [TR] Battery Charger hookup on Positive Ground Car?
I was just about to hook up an automatic trickle charger to my positive
ground
TR4 when it dawned on me that I wasn't sure which way to hook it up. Rather
than burn up my battery, I thought I should double check with the list
first.
On a common negative ground car, the red charger lead goes to the battery +
terminal and the black lead goes to the battery - terminal. Is it still the
same hookup for a positive ground car?
Thanks
