How Long Should You Not Turn Off the Engine After a Jump Start?

Do not turn off the engine for 20 minutes after a jump start. Steps for jump-starting a car: Take out one cable; first connect one end to the positive terminal of the rescue car's battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the rescued car's battery. Take out another cable, first connect one end to the negative terminal of the rescue car's battery, then connect the other end to a metal part of the rescued car's engine. Start the rescue car; then start the rescued car following the normal procedure. Quality of jumper cables: When purchasing jumper cables, choose genuine, quality-assured ones. Opt for thicker cables with an outer diameter of at least 10mm and a length of about 3 meters. Avoid cheap, low-quality jumper cables priced at just a few tens of dollars to prevent them from burning out due to inability to handle high starting currents.
