The load then goes between positive and negative paralleled terminals. If you connect one negative of one battery to one positive of the other battery and put the load between the remaining negative and positive terminals you have created an 18 V battery with the same milliampere hr rating as a single battery.

When a battery has two positive and two negative terminals is it ok to connect one battery to a second battery using the second terminal?
the two terminals both conect to the electrode of the battery,so, you can conect two batteries with the two "terminals" for parallel circuit or series circuit. Rocky_B - Yes you can do this to give yourself some extra amps, but connect the negative to the negative of the other battery and the positive to the positive of the other battery - This is what previous poster meant by parallel. Warning: If this is for an automobile electrical system, you do not want to connect it in series; i.e. Positive to solenoid, negative to positive of other battery, negative of other battery to ground, as it would be supplying over 24volts to a 12volt system and may seriously mess up your electrical system or cause wire insulation to heat up, melt, and cause fires.

How do you identify battery terminals without any marking?
Best way would probably be to use a multimeter or voltmeter. Turn the meter on to volts DC and connect the probes to the battery terminals, if the voltage is shown as a negative, then switch the meter's probes around at the battery end so it shows the voltage as a positive reading on the meter. Mark the positive and negative terminals on the battery after this. Some car batteries have the negative terminal as the small post, but on some as the big post.
When you charge a battery do you connect positive or negative first?
The man said it Always connect the positive + cable first to the battery. Then connect the negative- cable to the engine somewhere. Never connect the negative cable to the battery itself. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and which can ignite with the slightest spark. For this reason never, ever, connect the negative first and never connect the negative to the battery.
