Why polarity matters
Reversing red and black can damage the jump pack electronics and, in worst cases, the vehicle. Wait for an OK / green indication before cranking.
Safe habits
- Red to +, black to − or designated ground
- Never force a start if the pack shows a fault
- Keep metal tools clear of both posts
- Remove jewelry that can short across terminals
