    Nope it is always true unless you have one of those old European Vehicles with a positive grounded system. It works the same only in reverse.

    -Good battery negative to ground on dead vehicle
    -dead battery positive to good battery positive.
    Reverse order when done.

    You don't want to accidentally make a live circuit where it shouldn't be.

    I'm utterly confused... I don't even know how I ended here. I'm sure a link someone posted recently led me here. I don't know what else to tell you, other than I was also kinda high.

    My bad.

    Pay close attention to your positive and negative posts on the internet if you are high.
