[200q20v] battery charging

[Theron J. Bliss]

I had to jump my leaky V8 to move it down to my brothers garage. and I used the
live terminal under the hood, and the ground lug on the strut tower, nothing.  I
wiggled it all around, nothing.  I moved the ground around about three times,
nothing.  Pulled the rear seat and put the cables directly on the battery,
varrroooom...  Stupid thing.
