Default I need your help on how to indentify how tell what is positive or negative

cooler scooter 2.jpg

colorscooter.jpg

this isn't an EZGO, but it is electric
I help produce an outdoor radio show in St. louis Mo. on most Saturdays, except hunting season

The station has been cleaning up, and this cooler scooter has been sitting for 2 years, I put a new circut breaker in it this afternoon, and it started-
it is a 24 volt system like my mobility scooter

I have a picture of the external plug

what is the best and safest way to tell which is positive and negative

hey it cost me $20 bucks and I had the circut breaker from my trolling motor

any suggestions?
thanks guys- I am getting a newer scooter, He hasn't finished it yet- I am trading a shotgun for a working scooter-

Every easter My son and I go to the St. Louis Horseless carriage car show at Forrest park in st. louis- it is a giant- My wife asked me why I don't take my bad boy buggy? it gets real crowded in the hotrod section,lot of people lot of expensive cars
If I can charge this, I will take it!!!!

Yep, positive lead from DMM/DVM to positive on battery pack negative on one of the prongs on that 3 prong connector. Continue to move the negative to each prong until you have read out on the display showing the correct polarity.

Then repeat with the negative lead on the battery pack and the positive lead on each prong.

Try to find the manufacturer and Google for info. If you have three prongs, it may be a little more complicated.
