It might help if you have the key in the ignition and turned to the run position before you connect the battery.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. DO NOT DO THIS.

By doing something like this, you are asking that connection to instantly put every system that runs when the car is operating on, and could cause very nasty sparks when trying to connect it. If you are trying to blow fuses, this is a good way to do it. Remember to connect the negative terminal last, too.

I'd also recommend not doing it at night if you don't want your neighbors getting irritated.
