You're obviously dumb AF and never ventured out of your family's swamp. Fairhope is an awesome place to live.

Jump starting car - reversed cables
What was the outcome?


I was lucky, everything electrical in both cars was OK. But both batteries were toast, even after putting them on the charger. In my defense, I didn't see the label on the battery itself, just saw the label on the cable and assumed they were the same. This battery is on the side of the trunk, tucked inside the fender well. And it was dark. Now after I've gotten all my excuses out, here's a pic.



ETA:

So I get out and check the cables and it turns out the dead battery cables had been mismatched to the terminals, which means I reversed the polarity.


And I see now where the confusion lies. The battery cables themselves, not the jumper cables that I connected, were mismatched.

Read, people

Yes, very lucky. There are some crazy pictures out there of those less fortunate.

None taken. If the bitch can afford an MB, she should go to the dealership.
