Hello,
Since cars are essentially isolated, jump starting either
positive ground or negative ground cars is possible.
ENSURE THAT YOU CONNECT THE CABLING CORRECTLY!
Failure to do so may result in a equipment damage
or personal injury. (Geez, I sound like a Lawer)
Just becareful not to make any mistakes. Check your
connections twice.
Good luck, and as others have said, "Safety Fast!"
