How to Emergency Start a Haval H6 with a Dead Battery?
4 Answers
Haval H6 emergency starting methods for a dead battery: 1. Push-start: This is a relatively effective emergency starting method; 2. Jump-start with another vehicle: Bring the two vehicles close until the jumper cables can connect the positive and negative terminals of both batteries; 3. Towing-start: Use a tow rope of appropriate length to securely fasten both ends of the vehicle. The Haval H6 is a compact SUV under Great Wall Motors. Taking the 2021 1.5T manual urban edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.
Last time my Haval H6 battery died and was stranded on the roadside, I was really anxious. I quickly found someone to jump-start it. I had my friend's car pull up next to mine but not too close, turned off the engine, and opened both hoods. I took out the jumper cables, clamped the red clip to the positive terminal of my friend's car, then the other red clip to the positive cover marked with a plus sign on the Haval. The black clip went to the negative terminal or any metal body part of my friend's car, and the other end of the black clip to a bolt on the Haval's engine—never to the battery's negative terminal to avoid sparks. After my friend started their car and let it idle for two minutes, I tried to start the Haval's engine. Once it fired up, I immediately disconnected the cables, removing the black ones first, then the red. Success! I drove around for a while to recharge the battery. Remember, Haval batteries have a short lifespan, so regularly maintain and test the voltage, and keep an emergency jump-starter in the glove box for convenience.
Having driven for over 20 years, I've encountered quite a few battery issues with the Haval H6. For emergency jump-starting, it's best to be steady and find a reliable vehicle to assist. Park the two cars parallel, turn off the engines, and connect the jumper cables—red wire to the positive terminal (the Haval's positive terminal is easy to spot with its red cover). Connect one end of the black wire to the negative terminal of the assisting vehicle and the other end to a metal part like the Haval's engine bracket to avoid sparks. After starting the assisting vehicle, let it idle for a few minutes before attempting to start the Haval. Once successful, remove the cables step by step, safety first. Afterwards, check if the battery is aging or leaking, a common issue with Haval. Develop the habit of turning off lights when the engine is off, and keeping a small emergency jump-start device handy can save you the trouble of always relying on others for help.
From a repair perspective, the emergency method for a dead battery in the Haval H6 is straightforward. Position the two vehicles without touching, and turn off the engines. Connect the red clips of the jumper cables to the positive terminals and the black clips to the negative terminals or a metal grounding point. Start the donor vehicle and slightly increase the RPM to charge for a few minutes. Then, start the Haval and disconnect the cables. This issue commonly occurs with dead or aging batteries that need replacement. Afterward, check the battery voltage to prevent recurrence.
