    When charging a 6V battery for a system that is + ground, do you hook the red lead from the charger to the + terminal or the - terminal?
    I would think that you would hook it up like a - ground system (Red to +, black to -), then install it + ground in the vehicle. This is a new guy to + ground question that I'm sure needs to be clarified.

    You still charge it the same as a - ground system.....
    At least I do....
    If it is hook-ed up backwards your charger will probably let you know......

    Red to Red, Black to Black....

    My charger freaks out (Buzzes and the needle jumps all around) if I hook it up the other way.
