Jumping battery / battery terminals

[jasonenvoy]

Feel silly for asking, but haven't been able to find anything online. I'm looking to jump another car using my 2.3L Bronco but am not entirely sure where/how I should be attaching the positive end?

Am I supposed to try and clamp onto the green arrows below? If yes, is there a specific type of jumper cable I should use for the positive?

Yes.
And no, there isn’t a special cable. Unfortunately it’s just difficult to grab onto it because the way it was designed.

I had to jump start a car last week. I just clamped onto the 1/2 nut on each post

There is a U-Tube video of how to jump start a vehicle when your vehicle has a battery management system. Find it!

clamp the red on the battery, clamp the black on the truck ground.

Just use This. Safe and reliable.

Agree with above. I use the one in this video. Jumped a car a few weeks ago. I carry it mainly to jump myself when I'm out exploring.

I have 3 of these exact jumpers but a step up. They won't work if the battery is dead or too drained. Just if it's a low battery.

Engineers aren't the brightest since they never consider real use. That said on the red (+) follow the end of your arrow to the bolt on the other side of the terminal and just clamp the cables to that. I've done this to successfully jump batteries mutiple times.
