You're asking the right question. Boosters have the large alligator style clamps like regular jumper cables.
There is a safe way to connect to your battery but I think the biggest part of that safety is minimizing the creation of a spark around the gas produced by a charging battery. Having said that; you should connect to the positive post of your battery first and a good grounded place on your chassis or engine last. You can connect to the negative battery post (like I do) but the recommendation is the former method.
Note: Your booster probably has an on/off switch. You should have the booster off before connecting. My booster has a tag that gives the correct procedure. If you do a quick internet search on "safe battery boosting" you can verify and be safe. Hope this helps..
