Simple Battery Buddy Question!
 
This may be a silly question but my battery died and I have one of those NOCO genius chargers. Do I connect both the black AND Red clips or just the black one to the battery to charge this sucker?

Not familiar with this brand, but you have a positive and a negative on your battery...so I'd assume you'd need to connect both positive and negative terminals. Otherwise your battery won't charge.

Positive wire connects to battery positive post and negative wire connect to a good ground point on your car. Then plug the charger in and turn it on.

Just to clarify: the negative terminal of your battery is connected to "a good ground point". Modern sealed batteries are less likely to give off explosive gasses than the old style open cell batteries. You can connect the black wire to the negative battery post or any good ground point on your car.
