The best way to charge a battery is out of the car on a trickle charger.
That being said; jumping the battery can be done. Connect the negative cable on the doner car last. Direct battery connection preferred.
There is no difference between the the battery terminals and the B+ terminals at the engine fuse compartment fuse boxes except for a pair of 250 amp fuses.

Charging at the battery is best! To get the trunk open is another thing. This might help http://www.gusglikas.com/AutoRepairTrunkPowerAccess.htm

hi test point sorry for late reply internet was out of action, yes my battery does have a tube from battery going to the floor to let all the gasses escape from battery...
but today i stuck a new battery in a bosch one it seems to be sealed so that does not have any nozzle for me to attach the tube to... so the tube is laying in the boot idle guess not needed...
one question to all you guys after i stuck the new battery in now when i put the key in the steering wheel and seat won adjust i have to do, can anyone tell me how to sort this, before the new battery i put the key in the seat moves forward steerring comes down when i take the key out steering moves up seat moves back...
seems to have lost the setting when i changed the battery of the car any ideas how to get the settings back without having to do it each time i put the key in

OK- You set the positions with the little switches on the door switch pack. As I remember, you press one labelled "S" then the program # 1,2, or 3 for the key you are using. I do not remember how to associate the number with the key. It is in the "seat memeory" area. As I recall, without a memory, the seat will not automatically retract.

ok mate got the steering working , jus got to try sorting the seat i'll try your suggestion again...meanwhile took the car for a test drive after new battery installed i also discovered the stereo does not work but all else does...
do you know where the fuse for the stereo is located because this car has quite a few fuse boxes or is there anything else that would stop the stereo from working....
thanks again mate really appreciate your help....
