After the car battery is depleted, it is recommended to drive for one to two hours to restore its original performance. If the car battery is severely depleted and the engine cannot be started, a jump-start procedure is required, followed by normal driving for a certain distance to recover. Steps for jump-starting the generator: 1. First, ensure that the auxiliary battery is 12V and the negative terminal is grounded. 2. Connect the jumper cables, making sure not to reverse the positive and negative terminals, as this may cause sparks when connected. Also, ensure the cables are tightly connected to the battery terminals (full contact) to avoid sparking during the process. 3. Start the engine of the vehicle with the auxiliary battery and run it at medium speed, then start the engine of the vehicle with the depleted battery. 4. Finally, disconnect the cables in the exact opposite order.
