How to Connect Jumper Cables for a Car?
1 Answers
When a car battery is dead, it will definitely affect the entire vehicle's power supply system, and even the engine cannot be started. In this case, a jump start is needed to start the engine. Detailed steps for connecting jumper cables: 1. First, ensure that the auxiliary battery is 12V and the negative terminal is already grounded. Of course, all unnecessary lights and accessories should be turned off to avoid electrical accidents. 2. Then, connect the jumper cables in the correct order. Never reverse the positive and negative terminals of the cables, as sparks may occur when connecting. Also, ensure the cables are tightly wrapped around the battery terminals (for full contact) to prevent sparking during the process. 3. Start the engine of the vehicle with the auxiliary battery and let it run at medium speed. Then, start the engine of the vehicle with the depleted battery. 4. Finally, disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order.
