You connect the cables BEFORE you plug in or turn on the charger. Positive (red) to battery positive first, then negative (black) to battery ground. Then you turn on your charger and set the timer.

What do you charge a lawn mower battery?

Not sure if the question is what to charge the battery with or how to charge the battery. So, I will address both: A regular battery charger can be used. IF you are going to purchase one, you really don't need a top-of-the-line, expensive charger. A simple 2 to 6 amp slow-trickle charger will do the job. To charge the battery, connect the red charger cable to the positive battery post and the black charger cable to the negative battery post, then turn on the charger until the battery is charged. If necessary, clean the battery posts and cables before charging. The battery charger will have more complete details for charging the battery.


What would keep the battery from charging if the alternator is good on a 1989 camaro?

If you are 100% sure the alternator is good, then either the wiring or the battery are bad. If the battery has a dead cell it will not hold a charge. Disconnect the battery cables and clean the connections. Charge the battery with a battery charger, and then connect the cables. If the battery is over 3 years old, it is more than likely bad.
