How to Jump Start a Dead Battery?
1 Answers
Here are the steps to jump start a dead battery: 1. Park the working car close to the dead car and prepare the jumper cables. 2. First connect one jumper cable to the positive terminals of both batteries, then connect the other cable to the negative terminals, and start the dead vehicle. 3. After the vehicle starts, remove the jumper cables, disconnecting the negative cable ends first, then the positive cable ends. Precautions for jump starting: 1. Make sure to turn off the engine of the donor car before connecting the jumper cables. 2. Before starting, both drivers should confirm their battery locations and ensure no contact between the two car bodies to prevent current flow through touching surfaces during startup. 3. Engage parking brakes on both vehicles and shift to neutral (N) or park (P) to prevent rolling during the jump start process.
