Battery polarity

[KROGOTH]

What side is positive? left or right for our dogs?

 

[stryfox]

Left positive
Right negative
From perspective of sitting on bike.
On my 08 mutt

Thanks guys for the replies.
The batteries I see on the internet some say right positive or right negative.
Want to make sure I order the right one.

+ = positive/red
- = negative/black

Yeah but which side of the bike are you standing on....:roll:

Positive terminal is on the right when the terminals are facing you.

See which one really sparks when you ground your wrench to the frame..
That would be positive......

So is that the port or starboard side reference :loony:

I believe the right/left deal is which side both terminals are on. My 07 has both terminals on the left side of the battery.

Take yer seat off and have a look.

When ordering you should be facing the terminals to determine which side is +. Snakes picture above shows + right.

What if your Bi-polar? Can a positive become a negative from time to time?

That works real good on 24VDC!! I blew a 1/2" wrench in half once!!

Your battery doesn't have a "+" next to one post and a "-" next to the other???

Every battery is marked + and -

And most BDM bike models are different. Some bikes have both terminals on the left side, some bikes the terminals face forward, and the battery that comes in the bikes are available with positive on the left or on the right.

I have had both in my bike because one time I got stranded and the only battery available was opposite what came in my bike, so I had to do some fance cable swapping to make it fit.
