[Healeys] Charging Positive Ground Batteries

[Tom Felts]

To all my Healey friends, please forgive me---but--this Dryman is a true prick.  I never said that at all.  He has decided to send me and the world one of his nasty undiplomatic posts.  Actually it was he who confused the message and comments I was referring to and shot from the hip without checking.

Here is the message I was referring to.

" Peter Ryner <pryner at verizon.net> wrote:

The battery doesn't know if the car is positive or negative ground.  The 
charging hookup is always the same.  Red on positive and black on negative."

To which I replied  "I think you are correct --- but don't try to use the car body for the ground---use the battery neg post."  I thought it would be obvious why.

I was merely cautioning to not forget and stick the negative from the donor car on the Healey body------but rather on the Healey battery negative terminal.

Do I expect an apology from this classless person----nope.  Suggest you READ the context of messages before commenting DICK-------or do you have this burning need to criticise to better cope with yourself.

Again--my upfront apologies to others here, but thanks for listening.

I think you are correct --- but don't try to use the car body for
the 
ground---use the battery neg post.
