Positive to positive, neg to neg. Use #2 battery cables, as some of the starting current will be collected from there. If the location is more than 3' away I would use 0 gauge cables, not #2. Ground the Neg cable local at the battery with a 8 gauge stranded ground wire to the frame, and the Main ground to the engine block to a shiny metal connection. The Pos cable should be attached to the starter motor at the same place as the original Pos cable is attached. This will allow both Batteries to crank the engine with full CCA. If both batteries are good, it will not cause any system distress. JimN
